Collaroy Town Centre

Collaroy has something for everyone with a host of activities such as swimming, surfing, walking, snorkelling and you can even catch a movie at the heritage listed cinema.

The area was originally part of Narrabeen but was renamed after the collier S.S. Collaroy ran aground in 1881 during a storm. Collaroy Beach is partly protected from the wind and swell from the south, making it a perfect beach for beginners, swimmers and families.

There is also a 50 metre saltwater ocean pool however, if you prefer a smaller and quieter beach, just a short walk around the corner you will find Fisherman’s and Long Reef Beach.

Don’t forget your snorkel and mask as this is a great snorkelling spot to look for feather stars, heart urchins and sea slugs (also known as nudibranchs).
