Bondi Baths at Bondi Icebergs

Yes, battling tourists can be a bitch -- and you'll likely do that here -- but it's always good to remember that popular attractions usually become popular because they're so impressive.

For more than a century, the dramatic, 50-meter Bondi Icebergs pool has been a Bondi Beach landmark. There's a kiddie pool, as well.

Best of all is the "unsinkable bar" set along 150 square-meters of balcony space.
