What safety measures should I keep in mind while visiting beaches in the Bondi area?

Always swim between the flags at patrolled beaches like Bondi and Bronte. Lifeguards are there to ensure your safety, and swimming outside the flagged areas can be dangerous due to strong currents. • Be mindful of the sun. Use sunscreen, wear hats, and stay hydrated, especially during peak hours when the sun is strongest. It's easy to forget when you're having fun! • If you're planning on snorkeling or engaging in water sports, check the conditions before heading out. Some days can have rougher waves, so it's good to be aware of the surf report.
