I am not a fan of Bondi. I was utterly disappointed on my first visit as a tourist, and it has not improved since. In fact it makes me cringe!
The beach is far from spectacular. There are many many better beaches either up or down the coast.
There are a LOT of backpackers. It is way worse than Manly, I would prefer Manly anyday to Bondi, nicer, cleaner beach. Nicer atmosphere.
The shops & cafes/restaurants are so overpriced it is laughable
LOTS of wannabes/posers/try hards
In short, the only reason to go would be to say 'been there done that' and take a quick snap to two on your way to Watsons Bay for fish & chips. You really would not be missing much if you didnt go and could spend your time much better with a trip to the gorgeous Northern Beaches.
