Collaroy Beach, Sydney

Northern Beaches Map

Collaroy Beach

The long stretch of beaches along the Sydney north shore all offer surf, sand and sun. Collaroy, like the adjoining beach at Narrabeen, has been subjected to continuing erosion from the coastal storms, but so far has been able to maintain its presence. The beach with its golden sand is still a great place to swim, surf and generally laze about in the sun.

The beach has popular with visitors and locals since the early 1900s. Having derived its name, Collaroy, from a steamer which had become stuck there after a storm in 1890, locals decided to form a safety surf club.

Collaroy Beach SLSC

Collaroy Beach has a sand coloured SLSC next to the sands. The members are there for you and your family, please follow their instructions and are available in the warmer months to tell you about the beach conditions and further advice.

Sun Light and Protection

Covering Up - Sydney has bright sunny days so wear sun-protective clothing, especially between 10am to 3pm. Find a good SPF30+ sunscreen that is water resistant. Use shade and wear a hat, it all helps to stay looking young, healthy and beautiful as you do.
