The beach is approximately half a kilometre long. It is bordered by towering sandstone cliffs, and majestic rock formations dot the Bigola Head. The beach’s general conditions make it ideal for swimming and surfing, but visitors are advised to look for the strong shorebreak that comes on occasionally.

The north end, however, is particularly great for surf lovers. This is made possible by the nearby sandbank, which allows for longboarders to enjoy a day out at sea. On the other hand, the south end is a triangular sandbank that lies close to the ocean rock pool. This pool is loved for its fun and smooth waves, which allow relaxation while enjoying Sydney’s beautiful waters. Entry to the pool is free for all.

Avalon Beach provides amenities for beach-goers to ensure convenience and reliability. There are toilet and shower facilities for both men and women at the beach, and these are at the surf club. In addition to the rock pool, there is a picnic area where outdoor lovers can enjoy a fun day in the sun with family and friends.

Avalon Beach is also home to the Avalon Soccer Club and the Avalon Junior Rugby League Club. This beach is kid-friendly because it has a playground and equipment for the little ones to enjoy.

The beach has a commercial centre not far from the shore to ensure that holidaymakers have as much fun as possible. Look out for the bowling and sailing clubs, supermarkets, and shops selling assorted items.
