Bondi Beach is a super famous beach where you can enjoy the scenery, waves and atmosphere, regardless of if you're a millionaire or backpacker.
There's a cool art scene too
And of course lots of surfing. I got there by car from the Sydney airport which took around 1/2 an hour. The area is a little expensive, if you're looking to stop for lunch or dinner. If you're on a budget I recommend packing yourself a picnic, and enjoying the sandy beach, trying surfing, or going for a dip!
