Dee Why Beach

Dee Why Beach is a swimming beach on Sydney's northern coast with roughly 1.2 kilometers of sandy shoreline. The area features rock pools for safer swimming, playgrounds for children, and picnic zones spread across the entire beach length.

The area was long inhabited by Indigenous peoples who fished and left evidence of their presence in the land. Following European settlement in the late 1700s, the location gradually developed into a popular swimming and recreational beach.

The beach draws locals who come to swim, paddle, and enjoy water sports across its open waters. Weekend crowds gather at the picnic areas and playgrounds, creating a social meeting point for families and friends throughout the year.

Lifeguards monitor swimming areas during busy times to ensure water safety for all visitors. Parking facilities nearby and restroom and shower amenities are available for public use throughout the day.

The adjacent Ted Jackson Reserve provides a fenced playground and outdoor table tennis table available to the public. These extra recreational and sports options complement the beach activities nicely.
