Best Beaches near Curl Curl

About the Suburb

Discover 5 beaches near Curl Curl, a northern beaches favourite divided by a lagoon into North and South Curl Curl. The rock shelf at the southern end creates pools at low tide, and the surf is reliable year-round.

What Makes It Special

  • •The lagoon separating north and south - bird watching, walking trails, and flat water
  • •Rock shelf pools at the southern headland teeming with sea life at low tide
  • •Residential neighbourhood feel - locals walk to the beach in thongs and a towel

Getting There

30 minutes from Sydney CBD. Bus 136 or 139 from Manly. Street parking along Carrington Parade (South) and Abbott Road (North).

Best Time to Visit

Low tide for rock pool exploring at the southern end. Autumn for consistent clean surf. Quieter than Manly or Dee Why year-round.
