avalon is one of sydney's wildest beaches with a man-made rockpool to match. far along the winding road that reaches toward sydney's northernmost tip, the coastline here is open to the ever-changing moods of the ocean. even when the surf is at its biggest you can enjoy the sound and spray of the crashing waves whilst feeling, secure and protected in the safety of the rockpool. behind its protective railing, this is a small pocket of solitude between the vast ocean and sandstone cliffs. as you bob around surrounded by numerous other natural rock pools you can see far across the expansive length of avalon beach right across to the northern headland that stretches out into the pacific ocean. it's an inspiring yet tucked away place that gives you an awesome view of the endless ocean.just moments from avalon beach are a range of boutique shops and eateries. after a long swim (perhaps followed by a northern beaches yoga session) you?ll have a range of places to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. enjoy a gourmet pizza at cranzgots, fresh seafood at café ibiza or dine finely at starfish avalon . the raj of taj also offers great indian food near the beach.
