AREA GUIDE Neighbourhood A natural utopia, Avalon is surrounded by lush bushland that flows down to the calm bays of Pittwater on one side and the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean on the other. Homes cling to the hillside, capitalising on water views on both sides. In the midst of all of this is the laid-back village with its selection of organic and alfresco dining, health food stores, bakeries worth making the day trip for and boutique shopping that caters to the sun-loving surfie, the health conscious and the well-heeled alike. Located just under 60 minutes from Sydney’s bustling CBD, Avalon provides both proximity and distance in equal measure, making it the ultimate modern coastal locale. Things to Do The best way to experience this natural playground is by boat. Many homes cascade down into the bay, and many come with their own jetty. Avalon Sailing Club is a focal point for seafaring adventures; cruise the waters by kayak or yacht, and venture to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to discover its wealth of picnic and camping spots. Avalon Beach charms with its rugged coastline, deep golden-hued sand and crashing waves. Surfers can be seen year-round vying for the perfect wave. At the southern end, the ocean pool attracts young families while the adventurous take to the rocky ledges to jump into the deep azure waters. In the relaxed village centre, brunch is king. An array of organic cafés and laid-back, funky hangouts are on hand for hungry locals to settle into each morning. Chic wine bars also dot the scene. Lifestyle The lifestyle of Avalon Beach draws in families of all shapes and sizes, from professional parents to retirees. Once a popular stomping ground for hippies during the 1960s and 70s, many of the long-term locals have become successful, yet retain elements of their freespirited youth. The beach is at the heart of this Northern Beaches pocket with its rich surfing culture. But the enduring charm of Avalon lies not only in its picturesque landscape but its thriving village scene and community feel. It’s a relaxed lifestyle that keeps locals here for the long-haul, forever swayed by its embodiment of the great Australian outdoors. A laid-back and idyllic suburb in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Avalon Beach is a hot spot for all who seek a coastal lifestyle, being rich in beautiful beaches, pristine waterways and natural bushland. – Mark & Greg Griffin, Principals, Belle Property Avalon Avalon Alluring A place where Mother Earth meets urban living, Avalon Beach offers an idyllic, tranquil lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s CBD. 06
