Sydney's Northern Beaches

Are you looking for a seaside escape with the emphasis on 'escape'? A holiday at Sydney beaches might be just what you are looking for. This popular stretch of sand and sea is fondly divided into north (Manly, Curl Curl, Dee Why, Narrabeen and Palm Beach) and south (Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte, Clovelly, Coogee and Cronulla) by the harbour.

Of the northern Sydney Beaches, try visiting Manly Beach especially between 10am and 5pm on a Saturday or Sunday so you can combine your beachside fun with seaside market shopping.

Manly - a well-known Sydney surfing beach is the preferred location for some international surfing competitions, tourist and corporate surfing tuition and the annual Manly Beach Soft Sand Classic - a gruelling marathon solely run on the sand.

At the very tip of the northern beach cape, just near the Barrenjoey Lighthouse and east of the Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park, is Palm Beach - a popular holiday spot. Palm Beach accommodation is readily available for all budgets.
