Curl Curl Beach

Curl Curl Beach is a coastal beach in the suburb of Curl Curl within the Northern Beaches local government area of Sydney, New South Wales. Divided into North Curl Curl and South Curl Curl by Curl Curl Lagoon, it is known for its sandy shoreline, ocean rock pool, surf breaks and headland views. Patrolled by two Surf Life Saving Clubs, it is a popular destination for swimming, surfing and coastal walks.

Visitors can expect a long sandy beach divided by Curl Curl Lagoon into northern and southern sections, backed by grassy reserves and headlands. The beach features an ocean rock pool at South Curl Curl, surf breaks along the shoreline, a lagoon area, and coastal walking tracks connecting to the headlands. Facilities include surf clubs, picnic areas and lookouts with views along the Northern Beaches coastline.

Curl Curl area has long been used by Aboriginal people, with the name believed to derive from an Aboriginal term. European development increased in the early 20th century with the establishment of South Curl Curl Surf Life Saving Club in 1918 and North Curl Curl Surf Life Saving Club in 1922, reflecting the growth of surf lifesaving culture on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
