Dee Why Beach — Attraction in Sydney

This is one of my all time Norhern Beaches or series of beaches. The open pool near the rock platform can get crowded but is a great alternative to sometimes high surfs typical of the area. This beach attracts people from Central Coast, from the North Shore, even from the South. It is not quite the fair dinkum North Shore Manly but its close. More down to earth, a bit more scenic (very!) but it can get very crowded in the car park at the far end of the beach. Again get there as early as possible to beat the hordes of crowds. Lots of great cafés but gradually getting pricier as this lovely former hidden under the radar Sydney beach is slowly becoming gentrified with lots of new apartments housing new residents. Still a gorgeous getaway from the city and bit rugged and wild...

Nice relatively unpopulated beach. If u find Manly too busy for you, Dee Why is a bit better. It also has lots of shops such as Coles, woollies etc for supplies and is easy to get to by bus eg 136 from the chatswood train interchange or b1 from Wynyard without much walking from the bus stop required.

It is a great place to start a beautiful day walking up all the other northern beaches to Mona Vale. Allow for at least 5 hours to take pictures and soak up the natural beauty. See my other reviews of those other beaches for pictures.

Just my opinion Dee Why is the best beach in Australia why? because there is so much to see and hear with the lagoon running behind the dunes its home to some of the worlds most beautiful birds one being the iconic Black Swan. Dee Why beach has a one way road running parallel to the beach front with a variety of delicious cafes and restaurants. Also at the south end there are beach pools with 🚻 restrooms all wheelchair accessible. We have brave lifeguards keeping a watchful eye on swimmers. There's something for everyone at Dee Why beach .also please pick up your trash and place it in the bins...
