Long Bay

One of the most popular beaches during summer, Long Bay offers a wonderful sandy beach for building sand castles and swimming in, as well as a huge reserve which provides grass areas for picnics and games of frisbee, rugby and cricket. It is hard to find a park in summer, so turn up early and stay for the day. Enjoy the different aromas as people from all cultures set up camp around the park, and join in with singing to guitars or find your own private spot to enjoy.

One of my favourite beaches on the north shore- a bit far out but worth the drive. It’s long and that’s why it’s got its name. Read a map because it is a bit confusing to drive out there. Lots of grass space with trees for shade, bbqs that you can use for free, lots of sand (with those hoppers) and water. Have seen a few star fish on the sand and on the water. Great beach!

Great beach! It is massive so you never feel crowded or cramped even if there are a lot of people running around. The barbie pits are also a great touch when needing to feed a huge family while keeping an eye on the kids if you want to. It's also a great spot for photos as there are some beautiful trees and locations scattered around the whole Long Bay Reserve area. Highly recommended for a fun family day out! 

Long Bay beach is the type of beach you spend you entire summer at. the huge beach with the flat sand and low lying waves makes it safe for the children and a great family beach. There is a nice playground with a train that runs in summer and a flying fox that is fun for kids of all ages. There are BQ's available and huge space for a party or a small family picnic. Long Bay beach is the perfect northshore beach to spend your summer.
