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

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

Avalon Beach provides amenities for beach-goers to ensure both convenience and reliability. There are toilet and shower facilities at the beach for both men and women, and these are at the surf club. In addition to the rock pool, there is also 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 a kid-friendly because it also has a playground and equipment for the little ones to enjoy.

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