There are a lot of playgrounds around Narrabeen Lakes but the most natural of these and currently our favourite is Billarong Reserve Playground. Billarong Reserve Playground used to be the most popular of the three playgrounds but with the introduction of the new Tramsheds playground it has taken a back seat. I like that it’s […]
Tiny Doors on the Northern Beaches
I have seen little signs for Tiny Doors on the Northern Beaches for ages now. I had read a few posters but still had no idea what on earth it was. Until this past weekend when a librarian at Dee Why library took some time to explain it to us. We were handed a map, […]
Ladybug Music Sydney: the best toddlers music classes on the Northern Beaches
Ladybug Music Sydney My daughter was and is obsessed with Ladybug Music. Of all the activities, groups and programs I’ve done with my kids over the years this is most definitely one of the top 3 I would recommend any day of the week. It’s so high on my list of “best ever” it would […]
Pittwater Mini Golf – the best putt putt on the beaches
Pittwater Mini Golf During the school holidays one of my favourite things to do is take my son to Pittwater Mini Golf. We have of course visited on weekends but mini golf with a three year old princess can swiftly become a nightmare. There are 2 courses of 18 holes all set within a pirate […]
The Newport – our favourite summer restaurant [UPDATED]
The Newport The Newport is one of our local spots. It’s not in our suburb and is 11 kms away but it is one of the places we feel most relaxed with our children. Although it is quite a way up the Northern Beaches, it is worth the drive!! When I look back to when […]

Clareville Beach
Clareville Beach Clareville Beach is like a harbour beach but on Pittwater. It’s up north near Avalon but tucked away and really hidden. It’s a perfect little beach for families and a great one to visit when the wind is too strong for the other Northern Beaches. The strip of Clareville Beach has 320m […]
Newport Beach Playground
Newport Beach Playground The Newport Beach Playground is now a decent enclosed playground! This playground has had a complete overhaul in the last year, making it one of the nicest along the Northern Beaches beachfronts.
Jacka Park in Freshwater
Jack Park Playground in Freshwater I’ve driven past Jacka Park a hundred thousand times. I’ve driven past slowly, round and round the block examining it but never tempted taking the kids because I saw that there wasn’t a fence. On one of these circuits my kids saw the park and I was sunk – the […]

It’s a nice playground to visit after a day at the beach, a ride along the lagoon or as an isolated outing. We happened […]
