Bondi Beach hosts Sculpture by the Sea from 16 October to 2 November 2026 along Sydney’s coastal route towards Tamarama. The 30th-year exhibition places 100 sculptures beside the Pacific and remains open to the public throughout the period.
Sculpture by the Sea opens Bondi’s coastal walk until 2 November
The exhibition began on 16 October 2026 and continues until 2 November 2026. Its setting is the coastal walk between the southern end of the beach and Tamarama, where the route becomes an outdoor display for works by Australian and international artists.
The organiser describes the route as a 2km sculpture park. Its Bondi exhibition page confirms the location in Sydney and the closing date. The city’s official tourism service also lists the 16 October to 2 November dates and identifies 100 works along the walk.
Bondi Beach links a 30-year exhibition to a 2km cliff walk
The anniversary is tied to the exhibition rather than to a separate celebration at the beach. In 2026, the anniversary setting is the same cliffside route that connects the southern end of the beach with Tamarama.
The works are placed outdoors rather than inside a gallery. That arrangement makes the route itself part of the visit: travellers encounter sculpture while moving along a coastal path, with the Pacific and cliffs forming the surrounding landscape. The organiser identifies the display as free to the public and says it includes artists from Australia and across the world.
The 2026 programme also includes access activity at Marks Park. The organiser lists tactile tours on weekdays from 19 October to 30 October 2026, with one-hour tours available between 10am and 2pm. Those tours require bookings and are designed for people with disabilities, while the wider exhibition remains a public outdoor display.
