It is part of the suburb of North Bondi and the local government area of Waverley Council in the Eastern Suburbs.^[1]. It is sometimes referred to simply as "the northern headland of Bondi Bay."^[2]

Ben Buckler is the location of the Ben Buckler Gun Battery, which was built in 1892 and subsequently buried; it was later excavated by the Water Board and then reburied.^[3] It is also the location of the heritage listed Bondi Sewer Vent.

The first recorded use of the name was in 1831, when a land grant to Richard Hurd at North Bondi was described as being "...to a point called Ben Buckler."^[2]

Common theories about its name were set out in a research note issued by Waverley Council Library:^[2]

It is named after a convict, Benjamin Buckler or Ben Buckley, who lived locally with the Aborigines in 1810.
A bushranger named Ben Buckley lived in a cave in the rocks at the nortern end of Bondi Beach.
Obed West (1807-1891) claimed that it was a corruption of an aboriginal word.
