About Avalon Beach

Avalon Beach cultivates a distinct creative identity at the northern tip of Sydney's Northern Beaches, about 40 kilometres from the CBD. This suburb of roughly 10,400 residents combines a beautiful beach with a village atmosphere that has attracted artists, musicians, and creative professionals. The setting is spectacular, the pace deliberately slow.

The community has consciously chosen this lifestyle - people here reject Sydney's corporate hustle for something more meaningful. The village centre features independent shops and quality cafes rather than chains. The beach is beautiful without Bondi's crowds. Families appreciate the safe, creative environment and strong community connections. It's Northern Beaches culture distilled to its essence.

Avalon Beach falls under postcode 2107 and is governed by Northern Beaches Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pittwater electorate.
