Known for its surf, Avalon Beach features a variety of breaks suitable for everyone from beginners to seasoned pros. Families and sunbathers will enjoy the stretch of clean, well-patrolled, coral-sand beach. Enjoy swimming in the waves or at the 82-foot (25-meter) saltwater rock pool at the south end of the beach. For land lovers, the Bangalley Head Walk winds through the Careel Headland Reserve. Bring a picnic to enjoy on the beach, or grab something to eat or drink at one of the cafés or restaurants just across the road. To enjoy Avalon Beach along with nearby beaches, book a guided sightseeing tour of the Northern Beaches area.
