Turimetta Beach

The Turimetta Beach is a quiet and small 350m long beach between North Narrabeen and Mona Vale on famous Sydney's Northern Beaches and it is backed by steep bluffs.

The Turimetta Beach is both a hidden jewel and also a very popular spot for seascape photographers. You can find photographers there almost at every morning. Some times you can see up to 10 - 15 people shooting pictures on the southern part of the beach which is the most photogenic, with lovely angular rocks stacked up against the ocean. During late Winter and early Spring (July-September) rocks on Turimetta Beach are covered in a bright green weed and moss which make the rocks look very attractive for photography. You can shoot Turimetta Beach at any tide however the beach looks totally different depending on the tides.

The Turimetta Beach receives waves averaging 1.5m which break close to shore, and often has a heavy shore break. Swimming can be hazardous because of rips that usually form at the centre amongst the rocks and both ends of the beach. The beach is not patrolled by lifeguards.
