Long Reef Point sticks well out from the Northern Beaches coastline, putting its headland closer to open water than most beaches nearby — a genuinely useful angle for whale watching, and the walk around the point takes in the Long Reef Aquatic Reserve rock platform as a bonus.

What to Expect

  • Headland walking track with ocean views on three sides
  • Free parking at Long Reef Golf Club or nearby Anzac Ave
  • Rock platform and aquatic reserve worth exploring at low tide
  • Cafes at Collaroy and Dee Why a short drive away

Because the point juts out so far, it’s one of the better Northern Beaches options if you want a headland rather than a beach-level view.

Location

Anzac Ave, Collaroy NSW 2097.
