Northern Beaches Travel Guide – Property 2021
NORTHERN BEACHES TRAVEL GUIDE
AVALON, WHALE BEACH & PALM BEACH
INTRO
Some know it as Summer Bay and others refer to it simply as the Northern Beaches. As you twist and turn through the bends, there is no going back. Leave the city behind and immerse yourself in the ultimate coastal lifestyle.
It’s the type of place that you will fantasize about moving to, or one day the location of your dream holiday home.
The Northern Beaches is a touch of old school beach town sprinkled with upper class glam. The perfect duo for a holiday destination.
Safe travels

Lots of fun and frolicking to do.
Beaches
Spoilt for choice. You can hit the majors – Avalon, Palmy, Whale and Bilgola or explore the hidden spots. Paradise Beach is best at high tide and Clareville is exceptional at sunset.
Ocean Pools
All the major beaches have ocean pools. Personal fave is Avalon.
Walks
For 360 degree views you can’t go past Barrenjoey Lighthouse or Bangalley Head Walk. West Head is also a beautiful track.
Palm Beach Market
Local and seasonal - 4th Sunday of the month 9-3pm.
