The Northern Beaches district on a peninsula on Bantry and Caneel Bays in the coastal suburbs of Australia's biggest city offer something special - most particularly beautiful golden strands and spectacular views. With 30 kilometres of shoreline, the resort towns up here serve up a paradise and laid back lifestyle that begs the question of why people who live there would ever leave. Depending on distance away from Sydney, you can reach them by car and/or ferry in 15 minutes to two hours, and there are also a number of companies that offer tours combining beaches and ecotourism; the one that particularly stands out for a private tour with plenty of nature and wildlife is our very own Sydney Tours.
Here are four of the most prominent Northern Beaches towns, each with something a little different to offer (and keep in mind that high season is Down Under's winter, December through March):
