Address: Approx one hour north of Sydney

Directions: Accessible by bus, car and a 10 minute walk from the Mona Vale shopping area.

The commercial area or the heart of Sydney city is known as the CBD (Central Business District) and all distances are measured from this point. The Warriewood Beach is located approximately 30 kilometers from the Sydney CBD, and is accessible via road by car or bus, or one can even fly & skim across in a sea-plane.

Sunrises, mellow sunsets, golden sand, and water seem to go together and there is a lot of this in Sydney. Sydneysiders make the effort to be out all the time. They are outdoor people and this is not surprising since Sydney as many world class beaches. Even the relatively unknown beaches are wonderful and scenic.

The Warriewood Beach is a relatively unknown beach comprising of 500 metre long stretch of sand with a natural curve. Located at the base of Turimetta Head, the beach is protected at the southern end by rocky cliffs. This is amongst the ideal beach-fronts for a good swim or even body surfing, and especially for surf-board surfing. This beautiful stretch of sand is linked to the more known beach, Mona Vale when it is tide. I think it is highly under rated, and deserves a little attention.

As is true of most of the northern beaches of Sydney, this beach too is delightfully uncrowded and has a long stretch of clean gold colored sand. It is a great spot for swimming, great for kids, great for surfing and great just to hang out, enjoy the sun, the scenery and good friends.

To visit this beach you just need to go south from Mona Vale. It is accessible by the beach during low tide and by road at all time

The most spectacular feature of the Warriewood Beach is the ‘blow-hole’, a tunnel in the cliff head that collects water and at regular intervals, spews it back into the ocean. Very akin to the way a whale spouts water.

Since it is just south of the Mona Vale Beach, if the tide is low, one can get to it from Mona Vale, and it can be reached by road too. It is calm, peaceful and it is accessible. So if you are looking for a relatively lonely beach where you can spend some time away from the crowd, you can definitely visit this beach, hang out, enjoy the sun, the swim and quality time with friends and family.

If one is not inclined to take a dip in the ocean waters and still has the whole day to spend, the Warriewood Beach has a host of facilities that makes it a fun-site for all. There is a Rock Pool to enjoy a care-free swim, a raised platform that provides a magnificent view of the entire curved nature’s spectacle, a secluded spot for a quiet picnic, or enjoy fresh hot food on the electric BBQ. For children, there is the fun-facility playground. The beach is also equipped with separate toilet & shower facility for males and females, including the exclusive disabled toilet facility that would require having the MLAK (Master Locksmith Access Key). They also have a Surf Lifesaving Club

The Warriewood Beach has all the required infrastructure and facilities to make the day truly a worth-while experience near the open ocean. So if you have a day to spare and would like to spend it at a beach which is relatively unpopulated, you could visit Warriewood beach.
