Whale Beach has long been synonymous as a playground for the rich and famous. This pristine stretch of beach is protected by a headland at both ends giving it a feeling of isolation and protection. Magnificent homes are built along the cliffs and escarpments surrounding the beach, catching the beautiful Pacific Ocean views that stretch all the way to the horizon.

For most of the year Whale Beach remains somewhat deserted as many of the properties are holiday homes to Sydney’s elite. But at Christmas and school holidays it comes alive as they take possession and relish in the peace and serenity the area offers. For people wanting to share in a peace of the Whale Beach lifestyle but can’t afford the multi-million dollar price tag of the beachfront mansions, there are still some homes just a few minutes walk from the beach that can be very affordable, or can be rented out of peak holiday time at reasonable rates.

Whale Beach is also popular with those who enjoy fine dining in one of the areas restaurants that can boast not only five star cuisine but five star views! For those on a tighter budget a burger and ice cream can be purchased from the beach kiosk.

To get to Whale Beach, follow Barrenjoey Road past Avalon, and turn into Whale Beach Road at the Careel Bay shopping village. It is approximately 40km from the city and is services by RTA buses daily.
