North Narrabeen Beach is the northernmost beach on the Narrabeen Peninsula close to the junction of Pittwater Rd and Wakehurst Parkway. The peninsula is flanked on the east by the ocean and on the west by Narrabeen Lakes.
Southward from North Narrabeen Beach is that long stretch of sand comprising Narrabeen and Collaroy Beaches and, across Long Reef Golf Club, Long Reef and Dee Why Beaches.
North Narrabeen Beach is protected from northeasterly winds and the lagoon emptying into the ocean at the beach's northern end provides sand banks for surfers. A number of surfing competitions are held on the beach throughout the year, including the rich Coke Classic in April.
North Narrabeen and Narrabeen Beaches are patrolled in the summer months.
North Narrabeen Beach backs into Birdwood Park with parking, playground and picnic facilities at the northern end.
