A broad, open beach with clean lines, sea breeze and a quieter Northern Beaches rhythm.

Long Reef Beach feels spacious in a way that instantly resets your pace. The sand is broad, the waterline is long, and the energy is a touch looser than the busier city-facing beaches further south.
It is a strong reminder that Dee Why's appeal is not only about one focal point. It is the sequence of landscapes: reef, lagoon, foreshore and headland. Long Reef gives the northern end of the tour its breathing room, all salt wind and open horizon.
