Beach

Narrabeen Beach (Collaroy-Narrabeen Beach) stretches 2.5 kilometers along the coast. It flows smoothly into Collaroy Beach. Narrabeen does not have a rock pool, a swimming pool sunk into the rocks. The nearest rock pools are on the beaches of the adjacent suburbs of Collaroy and North Narrabeen.

The beach area of ​​Narrabeen and the buildings built close to the coast, as well as the entire north coast of Sydney, are severely threatened by erosion processes . The town's buildings were also damaged by storms in 1920, 1945, 1967, 1974 and 2016.

On June 6, 2016, waves up to 8 meters high hit Narrabeen Beach in a storm. In doing so, they eroded the beach line back up to 50 meters. Lake water penetrated into the streets of the village. The waves damaged some residential buildings near the coast. People from many houses and from a block of flats by the sea, Narrabeen Lake and on slopes had to be evacuated in the course of the storm because of water and the risk of landslides.
