Surfside Avenue, Avalon, NSW 2107

Surfside Avenue, Avalon is a wonderful street that really earns its name. Continuing on from the tail end of Avalon Parade – this is an ocean front cul-de-sac that suits surfers down to a board. With the parking at the head overlooking Avalon Beach being open and easy – many surfers come here to park and chak out the waves. If they are inclined – they can easily leave the car – and make their way down through the beachfront reserve and playground – passing onto the beach – where many of them choose to throwthemsleves in – board first off the rocks surrounding the ocean rockpool.

The northern end of Surfside is occupied by older apartment buildings, some of which have been done up, almost all of which offer spectacular views. There are still good buys to be had here for couples starting out, or affluent singles (who like to surf). It’s a very brief stroll to city busses (all of thirty seconds), and everything that Avalon has to offer (restaurants, supermarket, specialty stores, school etc).

The southern, higher end of the street has some lovely houses – on the eastern side, these are oceanfront – but I believe the western side my also offer lovely district views, even if not water-views.
