Things to Do
Breakfast at Dee Why Beach, at one of the cafes on the beachside strip, is a great way to start the day. A promenade, grass picnic stretch and road separates the cafes from the soft sands but does not detract from the views of the glistening seas. Most cafes offer both alfresco and inside dining.
Dee Why Beach Corso has been stylishly designed with a mix of stainless steel street furniture, picnic tables, elegant looking lamp posts and shower units. There are ramps leading down to the beach itself which will be welcomed by families with push chairs and the disabled.
At the southern end of the Corso is a sheltered rock pool, with nearby changing facilities, if you want a swim but don't want to cope with the breaking waves.
Dee Why Beach has its Surf Patrol Pavilion at the northern end of the Corso and this is always the centre of much activity. Flags are usually set up on the beach in appropriate safe to swim places, selected by the life guards, and the patrolled areas are between the red and yellow flags.
Always swim between the flags as if rips are present, even the strongest swimmers can be swept out to sea.
Dee Why Lagoon
Dee Why Beach Lagoon, located at the northern end of the beach near Long Reef is tidal and joins the sea at certain times thus making a divide in the sands.
If you are embarking on a long walk, taking in many of the other beaches, check with the Life Guards who will advise you when this occurs to ensure the safety of getting across. Make sure you are appropriately dressed and carry a towel.
Long Reef Walk
One of our favourite walks in Sydney is along Dee Why Beach to Long Reef and up to the headland, past the idyllically located golf course. At the top of the headland there are several sculptures, a reference map of the Northern Beaches and you can also watch hang glider pilots or model plane enthusiast’s play around in the up currents at the top of the headland.
Look north and take in the breath taking views of all the jagged cliff faces of the northern beaches right to the tip of Palm Beach. On a clear day, to the south, the round head of Centre Point Tower in Sydney pops up in the distance.
During some summer evenings there can be a sea mist which makes this walk even more magical.
Collaroy
Fisherman’s Beach leads to a stretch of flat rocks which are exposed at low tide. You can use the path above the beach when the tide is in but check with Life Guards when you can safely access the rocks.
In areas, the rock looks like crocodile hide and in others it is a mixture of greys, browns and reds. The rock shelf leads to another sheltered public swimming 'rock pool' and then on to Collaroy Beach. There is a well located Hogs Breath Cafe with a beach front dining area at Collaroy which makes a good spot for a pit stop before you return to Dee Why Beach.
Fisherman's Beach
At the top of Long Reef you can either return to Dee Why Beach or continue north down the path which takes you to the small and quaint Fisherman’s Beach, so named because there is a boat ramp and fish gutting utilities which is frequently used by several small fishing boats.
If the boats are not in use you will find them anchored on the sand. Look out for the resident pelicans who are attracted to fish discarded by fishermen. They perch themselves on the street lights waiting for the boats to come in.
Further along the beach are a few enviably located houses with absolute beachfront locations.
Narrabeen Beach
If you fancy a very long walk start at Dee Why, pass Long Reef golf course, venture up to the heads then down to Fisherman’s beach, onto Collaroy then continue along the endless stretch of Narrabeen beach to the lagoon.
The round trip from Dee Why Beach to the end of Narrabeen is about 10 Km and takes about five hours. From Dee Why Beach to Collaroy and back will take about two to three hours. Narrabeen beach runs parallel to Pittwater Road and there are plenty of shops and take-away's should you need additional provisions.
