Dee Why Beach

the long stretch of white sand

We visited Dee Why Beach last June 7 which was about an hour from where we are currently staying. Quite a long trip, actually, but it was well worth it.



Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia about this beach:


"Dee Why Beach runs for about 1.2 km along the eastern border, overlooking the Tasman Sea. To the north are the dunes separating the beach from the Dee Why Lagoon. On its southern end, the foreshore is given over to Dee Why Surf Life Saving Club, and Dee Why Beach Reserve, which contains picnic areas and century old Norfolk Island Pines, similar to the ones in Manly. The reserve is contained by a seawall running for approximately 400m, and has recently been upgraded, with new pathways, stairs, lookout platforms, an upper promenade and the restoration of the war memorial.[7] There are two playgrounds in the vicinity, located southern end of the beach and west of the Life Saving Club, and several ocean pools located below cliffs to the south."



It is a great place for families as there are activities for all age groups. The folks can go swimming in the beach or the pools, the teen-agers can go surfing or fishing while the kids can frolic in the huge playground overlooking the shoreline. It is also a good place to just commune with nature.


We did not get to swim because it was still very cold even with the sun shining. Eh, winter pa kasi. We made a promise to go back come summer.
