Overview

Collaroy, affectionately known as “The Roy,” sits 22 km north‑east of Sydney’s CBD on the Northern Beaches. Its 3.4 km surf stretch links seamlessly with Narrabeen Beach and is patrolled by four surf‑life‑saving clubs, offering a relaxed coastal lifestyle complemented by abundant wildlife such as sea eagles, dolphins and migrating whales. The suburb’s modest shopping strip along Pittwater Road provides cafés, restaurants, a bookshop, pharmacy, cinema and the popular Beach Club, while the Salvation Army’s large conference centre adds a venue for community events. With a 2021 population of 7,944, the area blends mid‑20th‑century beach homes, some of which were impacted by the 2016 storms, with newer developments.

Public transport is served by Keolis Downer Northern Beaches buses that run south to the CBD, Manly and North Sydney (peak only) and north to Narrabeen and Palm Beach. Families benefit from nearby schools, including The Pittwater House Schools and Collaroy Plateau Public School, and easy access to parks, reserves and the long‑reef golf club. This mix of beachside recreation, local amenities and reliable connectivity makes Collaroy a well‑rounded coastal suburb.
