The Best Sydney Beaches for Ocean Lovers
We’ve decided to break down our guide into the three most popular regions; north, central and south.
Starting at Palm Beach in the north and heading all the way down to Cronulla and the Royal National Park in the southern end, you’re sure to find a gorgeous patch of sand no matter what part of the Sydney region you end up in.

The Northern Beaches and North Sydney
Our first section will focus on Sydney’s northern beaches, which is essentially everything north of the Sydney Harbour Bridge running all the way to the tip of the Northern Beaches peninsula.
This includes the Palm Beach, Shelly Beach, and the famous Manly Beach with its own ferry wharf so you can easily access it from the city.
