Ben Buckler is the rocky point at the northern end of Bondi Beach where the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk begins — a genuinely good whale-watching vantage that has the advantage of being walkable straight from Bondi’s cafes, buses and parking.

What to Expect

  • Open clifftop views right at the start of the Bondi to Bronte walk
  • Paid street parking and metered car parks in Bondi (busy on weekends)
  • Cafes, restaurants and toilets close by in Bondi itself
  • Easy bus access from the city

Because it sits at the start of a longer coastal walk, you can keep strolling toward Tamarama and Bronte and pick up more ocean views along the way if the whales are running late.

Location

Ramsgate Ave, North Bondi NSW 2026.
