Beachside sunsets

Looking for a social way to watch the sunset? The slightly lesser known Grassy Knoll at Bondi Beach is one of the most happening places to watch the sunset in Sydney. Crowds of young people flock to this small grassy patch on the north side of Bondi Beach from late afternoon until the sun sets. There’s usually tunes and definitely lots of social vibes while people enjoy the last few hours of the day.
