Mid-week visit to Palm Beach was wonderful on a sunny day. Basically 10 people on the whole beach!! Lovely spot. Perfect beach!
8. Whale Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 91 reviews
Beach located on Sydney's northern peninsula.
Reviewed By JElliot32 - New South Wales, Australia
Whale Beach is a gorgeous spot, a relatively small beach of clean sand and sparkling water, defined by massive headlands at either end. The beach is patrolled and so swimming is quite safe - and there is lovely pool carved into the rock platform at the beach's southern end. It has long been one of my favourites in the Sydney area. The only negative is access: the beach is tricky to reach by public transport so basically you need a car to come here, and then parking is extremely expensive if you aren't a local resident. Unfortunately, free street parking is very hard to come by, too.
9. Avalon Beach

Reviewed By MeredithAussie - Cannes, France
This is a beautiful beach with surf and golden sand. It is patrolled by surf-lifesavers, so it's best to swim between the flags OR in the excellent ocean baths on the southern end of the beach. Council has also provided a shower/tap for rinsing salt and sand off before you go home. There are plenty of seats (in both sun and shade) and a grassy area and children's playground. Just one block back from the beach are restaurants, cafes and other shops (with parking available).
10. Bilgola Beach

4.5 based on 39 reviews
Reviewed By JElliot32 - New South Wales, Australia
Bilgola Beach may be just a few hundred metres long but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for with its charm and natural beauty. The beach itself ticks lots of boxes, golden sand, sparkling clean water and flanked by two imposing headlands. And the natural beauty is enhanced by the narrow, protected valley behind the beach. While there is a small community of (expensive!) houses here, they are surrounded by mature trees and remnant rainforest. It really does look like a subtropical paradise. Not much in the way of amenities here, just a toilet block, an excellent little kiosk and at the base of the southern headland large ocean baths for safe swimming / doing laps. (There is a surf club and the beach is patrolled.) I am very envious of the lucky few who actually get to call Bilgola Beach home.
