Everyone knows about the gorgeous Bondi Icebergs Club swimming pool overlooking Sydney’s Bondi Beach. What’s less Instagram-famous is nearby Bronte Baths (a.k.a. Bond Ocean Pool). This five-lane, 98-foot saltwater site was built into the cliffs at the edge of scenic Bronte Beach, yet draws considerably fewer camera-wielding tourists. Best of all, it charges exactly the same admission fee as it did when it opened in 1887: $0. If you’re looking to make a new friend, the century-old Bronte Swimming Club is always open to new members and meets every Saturday mornings between October and April. To became a part of their merry crew, swing by the pool’s club room around 8:45 a.m. and say Cartogramme sent you.
