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 Northern Beaches Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Mackellar, while state elections fall under the Pittwater electorate.
