Northern Beaches
Must do
Sydney by the sea, Northern Beaches and Pittwater
Great Sydney beaches and an enviable beach lifestyle attract visitors to the beaches north of Sydney Harbour. Stop at Avalon for shopping and good cafes, charter a yacht on Pittwater, or hit the surf at Queenscliff, Collaroy, Long Reef or Narrabeen.
About the Northern Beaches
North of the city, the beautiful stretch of coastline from Manly to Palm Beach has a relaxed beachside ambience and plenty of things to see and do. With the Pacific Ocean on one side and Pittwater on the other, the peninsula covers about 18 km of open coastline and has excellent dining, surf beaches, waterways and parklands.
Bordering Pittwater to the west is Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, which has pockets of rainforest with creeks, waterfalls, Aboriginal rock art and campsites.
Outdoor ocean pools along the northern beaches are at Collaroy, Dee Why, North Narrabeen, Newport and Palm Beach.
