Sydney’s Northern Beaches offer a stunning stretch of coastline just a short drive from the city centre. Running from Manly to Palm Beach, this picturesque region is home to some of Australia’s most iconic seaside spots, each with its own unique character.
Begin your adventure in Manly, a lively beachside suburb perfect for surfing, snorkelling at Shelly Beach, or enjoying a drink along the Corso. Just up the coast, Freshwater Beach, famous as the birthplace of surfing in Australia, is great for families and beginner surfers alike.
Dee Why and Narrabeen are local favourites, known for their reliable waves, ocean pools, and expansive sandy shores. The nearby Narrabeen Lagoon also offers scenic walking trails and peaceful kayaking.
If you’re after a more tranquil atmosphere, head to Avalon or Bilgola Beach, where green headlands frame deep blue surf. Right at the tip of the peninsula lies Palm Beach, familiar to fans of Home and Away as “Summer Bay”, offering sweeping views and the popular walk to Barrenjoey Lighthouse.
Whether you’re chasing waves, soaking up the sun, or exploring coastal walks, the Northern Beaches are the perfect place to unwind and enjoy Sydney’s relaxed, beachside lifestyle.
