Collaroy Beach is a surf beach that adjoins Narrabeen Beach forming a long stretch of coast. It is part of an accessibility precinct that includes an all-abilities playground and access to a Free Wheeler which provides wheelchair access to the sand and the surf.
Collaroy Beach is partly protected from the wind and swell from the south, making it a perfect beach for beginners, swimmers and families. There is also a saltwater ocean pool however, if you prefer a smaller and quieter beach, just a short walk around the corner you will find Fishermans and Long Reef Beach. Don’t forget your snorkel and mask, as this is a great snorkelling spot to look for feather stars, heart urchins and sea slugs (also known as nudibranchs).
Due to the long and open stretch of coast at Collaroy-Narrabeen, it is prone to erosion, especially during storm events.
The beach has good swimming conditions- excellent beach for beginner surfers. Good windsurfing in north easterly or southeasterly winds.
