Avalon Beach

Avalon Beach is a famous surfing beach and it is located in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, Australia. Avalon Beach is located 35 kilometres north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Pittwater Council. Avalon Beach is extremely picturesque and full of natural beauty as it lays nestled between the two imposing headlands.

Avalon was named after the mythical Avalon, a legendary island in Celtic languages mythology. According to legends, Avalon was an earthly paradise and the final resting place of King Arthur.

Avalon is home to the few remaining koalas able to survive in an increasingly urban environment, a reminder that there once were many more in Pittwater.

Avalon Beach is superb for swimming, surfing windsurfing and fishing. At the southern end of the beach is a large salt water pool which provides a protected environment for adults and children alike who prefer to swim in calmer waters. A shady park area provides refuge from the summer sun, together with picnic and barbeque facilities. Avalon Beach is a great place to take a day trip to if you're visiting Sydney or live south or west of the city.
