My Sydney: Bondi Vet's Dr Lisa Chimes has a favourite beach. Guess where?

One half on the Bondi Vet duo, Dr Lisa Chimes is unsurprisingly keen on what the coast has to offer.

1. Bondi Beach

It was my local beach where I spent countless days during my childhood and now it’s the perfect place to take our young children. We love sitting on North Bondi in the late afternoon and finish off the afternoon with some fish and chips on the sand.

2. Bondi’s Best

It’s a fish shop in North Bondi that serves the best traditional fish and chips, as well as sushi. I love the spicy tuna maki and sweet potato chips.

We have been going there almost every week since they first opened, so the staff mostly know what we are going to order!

3. Watson’s Bay

It’s a nice quiet escape from the crowds of Bondi. The kids love the big park, as well as exploring the many “tinnie” boats lying on the beach. There are even some local pelicans that come to visit. 

4. Organic Republic Bakery in Bondi

They make the best muffins, spelt bread and almond croissants. I order a few loaves of spelt bread every week – my family just can’t get enough!

5. Favourite hidden spot  

The coastal cliff walk in Dover Heights/Vaucluse. The view is absolutely spectacular and there are never more than a handful of people around – it’s one of our favourite places to walk the dogs.
