2. LOCATION
Bilgola Beach, is a
suburb called Bilgola
Plateau located in the
North-East of the centre
of Sydney, in Australia.33°38′44″S 151°19′04″E
3. SOME CURIOSITIES
Bilgola is an Aboriginal word that means “swirling
waters”.
Bilgola is between Newport (South) and Avalon and
Clareville (North).
It was purchased in the 1870s by WB Dalley and he
built a clapboard there, which was rebuilt in 1919
and it became a guests house.
Dalley’s son drowned at the beach while fishing.
Colonel Walter Oswald Watt, World War I aviator,
also drowned there.
According to the last count, there are around 3,900
habitants at Bilgola Plateau.
Between 2005 and 2008 a TV series called “Blue
Water High” was filmed there.
4. SAFETY
Considering that we are talking
about a beach, the only crime
we should worry about is pick
pocketing. But it barely exists
there.
The only safety problems we
could have there, is in the water.
It exists, of course, the probability
of drowning. The Bilgola SLSC and
the Bilgola Beach Lifeguards are
there to avoid this probability.

6. GETTING AROUND
To get around this place, our best option is, a
comfortable pair of shoes.
Bilgola Beach is a Suburb, and the longest walk we
can take, is one of four kilometers, and to do so,
we would have to go from one side to the other
of the suburb and go back. So we wouldn’t need
a car.
1.9 kilometers
around 20 minutes
7. SIGHTSEEING
I’m feeling forced to
remark the fact that
this is one of the most
amazing beaches you
will ever visit, so be
sure you go to every
single tiny place
around it, like those.
8. Also the sunsets are incredible and really romantic in
this beautiful beach. You can sit in the sand with your
loved one and watch the sun fade behind the waves

9. And finally, as my personal
suggestion, I recommend
you to, if you have the
possibility, to stay at the
beach, relaxed, and
watch the surfers, and
why not? Try it! You can
also go to the slsc, they
have got plenty of
activities to do.

10. LOCAL CUSTOMS
In this little village, there is
no topic to avoid, and
every single tip is
welcome, but if you
really want to fit in this
place, forget every suit
that is not a wetsuit or a
swimsuit!
11. SHOPPING
This is a very little village, not
very popular for tourists, so
they are not really interested
in selling souvenir and that
stuff, the best thing you can
take back with you, is lots of
photos and experiences.
12. Bilgola Beach Kiosk (Billies)
You can’t leave Bilgola
Beach without having
dinner here. One of the
most legendary
restaurants of the
surroundings.
13. BILGOLA BEACH
The reason why I chose this place is
because is one of my favourite
places. Obviously, I have never
been there, but is one of my life
goals, visit Bilgola Beach.
You may be wondering how I now
about this place, well, the first
time I saw it was in this TV show
about surfer kids called Blue
Water High, and I loved it.
14. Another reason is that, I've
been surfing almost half of
my life, and I love everything
related to the ocean, and
when I watched the show
and saw the waves, and the
blue water, I got hypnotized.
I looked in the internet for the
location of the show, but it
didn’t appeared.

15. I found out the name of the
place, thanks to an Australian
Friend I made some years ago,
she had been there, and she
told me where this place was.
The first thing I did when she told
me, was look for it on the
internet, and I fell even more in
love with this place.

16. This is it, this is the best place in the world.
At least for me.
