Collaroy Beach

Collaroy Beach is a popular beach in the Northern Beaches area, about half an hour’s drive from the Sydney CBD. This picturesque beach adjoins the equally beautiful Narrabeen Beach, making up a long stretch of pristine sands.

The beach’s history dates back to the late 19th century when the region was entirely a part of Narrabeen.

Following the arrival of S. S. Collaroy in 1881, the beach changed its name to Collaroy in his memory. Today, the beach is a surf paradise for water lovers looking for Sydney’s sun, sand and sea.

Collaroy Beach is partially protected from the wind and swell from the southern side, making it a perfectly suitable spot for those just learning how to surf. Beginner surfers will enjoy the experience here, but more advanced surfers may need to look beyond Collaroy Beach at the nearby beaches, where surf conditions are a bit more fulfilling. This beach also has excellent swimming conditions for those not keen on jumping on a surfboard.

One of the best things about Collaroy Beach is that it forms part of an accessible precinct that includes a beach reserve, a playground, and accessible picnic sites. Here, the kids can play and run around while the parents unwind. The rockpool and the paths that lead to it are a great way to explore the beach.

Other amenities available at Collaroy Beach include accessible washroom facilities, Wi-Fi, showers, electric BBQs, and shaded areas. There is also a liberty swing, and visitors with limited mobility may use the FreeWheeler, which provides wheelchair access to the sand and surf regions.

Take some time to explore the different surf shops, cafes and restaurants that line the beach. Don’t pass up the opportunity to enjoy a quiet stroll down the beach as you soak in the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that Collaroy is known for.
