Remember that Sydney is actually an enormous harbor, like a toothy mouth that opens eastward into the Pacific. Bondi Beach is the one that actually lines the ocean, along the city's eastern edge.
I had a cab drop me off at a cafe at the northern edge, where I ate fish and chips in a cafe facing the ocean. While eating, it was easy to spot a massive beach to the north with people surfing. (This was July, dead of winter, about 13C / 55F and windy.) When it warmed up to 15C / 60F, some folks started swimming in the ocean-swimming-pool as well.
After eating, I spent a couple of hours just walking along a (fairly crowded) path that went up and down a rocky shore and cliffs. Some of the views were just stunning.
Eventually I stopped and set up my tripod, and did a multi-second exposure to get a 'blurred ocean' effect:
On a hilltop there were all sorts of folks congregating, watching the view. Cute dogs too.
After a couple of hours, I stopped at a smaller beach and got a final sunset shot before taxiing back to my hotel.
