Sculptures by the Sea 2022
Held at Bondi Beach, this annual event (with past disruptions due to Covid) attracts sculptors from all over the World. Running from South Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach, the 2 km walk had over 100 sculptures on display. Sculptures by the Sea 2022 ran from 21 October – 7 November 2022.
Getting to Bondi Beach
Parking at Bondi can often be a problem, with limited spaces and high popularity combining to make it difficult. We were lucky and found a space in the main carpark next to the beach. From here we walked past the Bondi Icebergs Club and followed the path along the coast.
Alternatively, catch a train to Bondi Junction where a bus runs to Bondi Beach.
Be prepared for crowds because this is a very popular event. Although our photos don’t show it, there were hundreds of people moving along the walkways enjoying the sculptures.
The Sculptures
As usual there was a huge number of sculptures on display and they looked amazing with the ocean backdrop. Some of our favorites are shown below.
Next year’s event will run from 20 October – 6 November 2023.

A nice collection to start 2023! The first sculpture is spectacular.
The first sculpture was our favorite too. Thankyou for reading.
Those are amazing, especially that first one. 👍🏽

We have sculptures by the sea in WA held at Cottesloe Beach which I always enjoy going to. I like the ones you’ve shown especially Hotbed Twilight, those cute houses are amazing.
I’ve heard about Cottesloe sculptures. Are they the same ones relocated from Bondi are a different display?
I’m not sure, although I know some local councils buy a few
It would be expensive and troublesome to move them across states. Sometimes I’ve been the day before and see them being erected which is fun also
wonderful sculptures
We loved them and had a great time wandering around looking at them.
That first sculpture is brilliant and the horse on his head – that’s pretty amazing! But actually, all of them are really unique.
That’s why we love sculpture by the sea. Each year there are always new and unique sculptures. Always worth going to.
