At its southern end is the Ted Jackson Reserve (renamed from Dee Why Beach Reserve in October 2010), with picnic areas and century old Norfolk Island Pines, similar to the ones in Manly. Behind the beach's remaining dunes, to the north of The Strand, is Dee Why Lagoon. Its entrance marks the northern end of Dee Why Beach and the southern extent of Long Reef Beach. The high conservation value of the lagoon and its surrounding area was recognised in 1973 when it was proclaimed a wildlife refuge. It is an extremely significant area for local and migratory birds, and is listed on migratory bird agreements with Japan and China. The Dee Why Lagoon Wildlife Refuge covers an area of 77 hectares, of which the lagoon takes up 30 hectares. 17242

Narrabeen is a beachside suburb in northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Narrabeen is 23 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council and is part of the Northern Beaches region. This area was named Broken Bay by James Cook as he sailed by.
The Long Reef Golf Club’s history dates from the period immediately after World War One. At that time, those wishing to play golf in the northern beaches area could do so only at Manly – there was no other course. In the 19th Century, the Long Reef headland was used for light farming. It was owned by the Salvation Army until 1912 when it became Crown Land administered by Warringah Shire Council. For some years it was a popular camping ground. The golf club was started in 1921 as a 9 hole layout. Because the lower part of the headland was swamp the golf holes were confined to the upper ground. By today’s standards the course was a bit primitive. Grazing cattle constituted an early problem and wire fences were erected around the greens. The swamp was drained and filled in the late’20’s and the course was extended to a full 18 holes in 1931. Long Reef today remains a constant golf challenge for all players. The winds has always been the main obstacle to a good score and few can claim to have mastered it. The course itself has improved a lot over the years and it is now a testing layout with fairways and greens of which all members are proud. S20N_369

🌊 Dee Why Beach Waves: A Surfer’s Playground
Dee Why Beach, nestled on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, is a beloved spot for wave chasers and coastal wanderers alike. Here's a deep dive into what makes its waves so captivating:
🌀 Wave Characteristics
- Wave Height: Typically ranges from 1 to 1.2 metres, with swells often coming from the southeast.
- Swell Period: Around 9 seconds, which gives the waves decent shape and rideability.
- Best Conditions: The beach thrives under south swells paired with offshore winds from the south, especially during winter, when clean, consistent waves are most common.
- Tide Influence: Surfable at all tide stages, though conditions vary. Low tide can expose more of the reef at Dee Why Point, making for punchier waves.
🏄 Dee Why Point – The Crown Jewel
- Type: A fairly exposed point break with dependable surf.
- Wave Quality: Offers longer rides when conditions align—33% of June days deliver clean, surfable waves.
- Hazards: Watch out for rocks and local crowding, especially when the swell is pumping.
