Dee Why Beach

This long stretch of beach of golden sands has long been an attraction for locals and visitors. Running along all the way to Long Reef Beach, there is a Lagoon with an entrance to the ocean and a Wildlife Reserve. Depending on conditions, the entrance to the ocean may block a beach walk, otherwise not.

You can enjoy walks along the beach or in the wildlife reserve. There are numerous marked paths in the reserve for easy walks.

At the southern end of the beach you can find some excellent restaurants and eateries, including Aubergine, Mozzarella, Wockbar and the Wildwater Grill. There are also the usual collection of burger joints, Asian takeaway and fish and chips for more casual eating.

Just south of the beach there is a rock pool, for swimming and younger families, particularly on bigger surf days.

Pay parking is available all along the back of the beach, from the rock pool area to the surf club at the other end and near the wildlife reserve. Other facilities include showers, public and disabled toilets, picnic area and tables, enclosed playgrounds and bbqs.
