About Elvina Bay

Elvina Bay is a tiny, exclusive waterfront community on the western shores of Pittwater in Sydney's Northern Beaches, within the Northern Beaches Council area. With a population of just 80 at the 2021 census on a mere 0.25 square kilometres, it is one of Sydney's most unique and secluded suburbs. The community is accessible only by water — there are no road connections — with residents relying on private boats or the Church Point ferry service.

Elvina Bay offers an extraordinarily unique lifestyle — a car-free, water-access-only enclave surrounded by Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park bushland and Pittwater's tranquil waterways. Homes perch on the hillside with stunning water views, connected by walking tracks rather than roads. The community has a strong sense of togetherness, with the Church Point wharf providing ferry access to shops, schools, and transport connections. It attracts artists, professionals, and nature lovers seeking an off-grid lifestyle within metropolitan Sydney.

Elvina Bay falls under postcode 2105 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pittwater electorate.
