About Bilgola Beach

Bilgola Beach is a small, tightly held coastal suburb on Sydney's Northern Beaches, located approximately 33 kilometres north-east of the Sydney CBD within the Northern Beaches Council local government area. Gazetted as a suburb in 2012 when the former Bilgola was divided, it covers just 0.33 square kilometres and had a population of 251 in the 2021 Census, making it one of the most compact and exclusive beachside localities on the Northern Beaches. The suburb sits between Avalon Beach to the north and Newport to the south, tucked between the Barrenjoey Road ridge and the Tasman Sea.

The suburb centres on its beautiful surf beach, patrolled by Bilgola Beach Surf Life Saving Club, and a 50-metre rock pool at the southern end that is popular with lap swimmers and families. A kiosk opposite the surf club serves coffee, wraps, and light meals, contributing to the relaxed beach village atmosphere. Bus services run along Barrenjoey Road, connecting to the B-Line at Newport for rapid services to the Sydney CBD. Bilgola Beach appeals strongly to owner-occupiers and long-term residents who prize the unspoilt, uncrowded beach and the quiet residential streets above the shoreline.

Bilgola Beach falls under postcode 2107 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pittwater electorate.
