Fisherman at Collaroy, N.S.W. - circa 1937

Collaroy

Collaroy is a long Northern Beaches surf beach that adjoins Narrabeen, with a protected pocket at one end and a broader open beach stretch that picks up reliable northeast to southeast swell. It suits beginners through intermediates and feels like a classic Sydney beach break rather than a hidden reef.

Lineup Guide

Use the public accessways and sand ramp near the seawall area; Collaroy has car parking, showers, toilets and a family-friendly setup.

The protected pocket is the more forgiving takeoff zone, but the beach still throws rips and some rockier storm-affected sections into the mix, so watch the entry and exit.

Moderate crowd, mellow vibe, best with southwest offshore wind and mid tide.
