Northern Beaches Region

Stretching from Manly to Palm Beach, the Northern Beaches combine surf culture, national parks and harbour inlets. Each suburb has its own beach, café scene and community vibe, from the nightlife of Manly to the laid‑back feel of Avalon. Barrenjoey Headland Lighthouse walk and the ocean rock pools are favourites. Locals greet the dawn with swims at Curl Curl rock pool and stroll through a tranquil Bible Garden above Palm Beach where terraces of native plants frame views over Pittwater that many visitors miss.
