Bronte Baths

Featured on postcards and artworks since the early 1900s, this attractive saltwater pool attracts a myriad of people. Waverley Council recently gave the baths a $250,000 facelift and although the pool remains an irregular shape, there's a five-lane lap-swimming area.

Also known as the Bond Ocean Pool after lifesaving pioneer Major Bond, the baths are a mecca for people who like swimming in saltwater. The pool was created in the nineteenth-century and has been adapted for lap and competition swimming by using a turning board to define a rectangular course within the pool.
