South Curl Curl Beach, located on Sydney's Northern Beaches between Dee Why Beach and Freshwater Beach, is renowned for its surfing conditions. The beach faces east-southeast and features 1.6-metre waves on average, making it ideal for surfers. It spans approximately 1.2 kilometers and includes both North Curl Curl and South Curl Curl sections. The southern end is particularly popular due to its child-friendly ocean swimming pool and nearby cafes. The area offers scenic coastal walks and hidden rock pools, especially around the North Curl Curl headland, accessible via low tide or the coastal path. The beach is picturesque but can have strong rips, thus requiring caution when swimming.
South Curl Curl's tranquil and family-friendly atmosphere draws visitors seeking both relaxation and adventure. The surrounding neighborhood offers a laid-back vibe with various dining options nearby. However, beachgoers should exercise caution due to the presence of several rips, notably the Garbage Bowl at the southern end.
The beach area is well-connected with public transport and offers both free and paid parking options, depending on the proximity to the beach. While it doesn't have dedicated beach parking, there are several car parks nearby and street parking available.
