This weekend we got in the car and drove an hour to the northern beaches. There are about 15 different beaches total and they run in a long chain. They are only divided from each other due to these steep cliffs which start and end each beach. The sand up north is red and really really soft, this is different from many of the beaches in Sydney. Because it is fall, the water is particularly warm, and ideal for surfing. These beaches are also known for their large waves (not really for kids) so there were lots of surfers out on Saturday when we came.
The water was so warm, Mary took off her pants to jump in but wouldn't take off her coat b/c the air was colder than the water.
See the cliff starting the beach? I am standing on the other side off the cliff...this is about beach #4...not sure which one but here are all the ones we hit: Palm beach, wale beach, Avalone, Bilgola, Newport, Bungan, Mona vale, Warriewood,Turimetta & last of all Narabeen, so 10 of them!
The entry way into Narabeen beach.
Avalone beach, on the other side of this road there is a bay of fresh water where all the boaters and water skiers go. So you really can have the best of both water worlds!

Thomas is pretty excited to be out of the tent, we just finished our picnic!
Mary ready to jump in!!
Thomas and finally some hair...see it?
When the kids are a little bit older they can take surfing classes (starting at 8), this teaches them ocean safety etc... then we can take weekend trips up here as a family...which would be so much fun!!
