Avalon Beach located to the north of Bilgola Beach and south of Whale Beach, has carved a niche for itself as the favored “sea-change” destination, for people looking to adopt the surfer lifestyle. During the day, enjoy surfing, windsurfing, swimming, and fishing. A rock swimming pool is there at the southern end of the beach. The shady park area provides a spot for picnics and BBQ together with protection from the summer sun. The North Avalon breaks along the north headland and a nearby mound and attracts lots of older longboarders. South Avalon is centralized on a triangle-shaped sandbank near the 25-meter (82-foot) ocean rock pool that creates funny waves. Little Avalon, the edge of the south cliff is quite famous for fast-barrelling tube rides. Planning a trip to Avalon Beach?
