Bondi lifeguards

Keeping you safe at the beach

Our professional lifeguards are on duty year-round, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all beach visitors. Easily spotted in their blue uniforms, they patrol Bondi, Tamarama and Bronte Beaches 365 days a year, keeping a vigilant watch over our iconic coastline.

Beach patrol hours

No matter the season, our lifeguards are here to keep you safe:

High season (October to April): 6am–7pm

Low season (May to September): 7am–5:30pm

Lifeguards vs. Lifesavers

Both lifeguards and lifesavers play a vital role in beach safety, but here’s the key difference:

  • Lifeguards are highly trained professionals employed by Waverley Council, patrolling the beaches daily. Look for their blue uniforms.
  • Lifesavers are volunteers who patrol the beaches during summer. Look for their red and yellow uniforms.

Whether you’re swimming, surfing, or simply relaxing on the sand, our lifeguards are always on hand to ensure your safety.
