Currawong Beach

You will have to take the Fantasea Cruising at Palm Beach to reach this sheltered, carless beach suburb on the shores of the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. There are no shops so bring food and water with you and if you like what you see you can stay longer at one of the rustic cottages. Neighbouring Mackerel Beach offers a similar vibe. You can also access them via walking trails from West Head.
