Clareville Beach Reserve sits on a calm Pittwater-side beach on the western side of the Northern Beaches peninsula — sheltered, non-surf, with shallow water and a strip of shaded grass behind the sand. Locals describe it as pleasant for families with young children, particularly in late afternoon.
Dog access here isn't formally confirmed on Northern Beaches Council's pages, so default rules apply: dogs should be on-leash in public areas unless specifically designated otherwise. Check council signage on arrival for any restrictions. BBQs, toilets, and parking are available behind the beach.

The water.is a bit murky but nice and calm. Lots of shade under the trees and nice grassy areas next to the beach

Very pleasant non surf beach with a strip of grass where you can sit in the shade. Water temperature very warm in late December. Great for little kids. Shallow water and only a gentle slope.

Relaxing Sunday afternoon drive around in new area recently moved to. Quiet, leafy plenty of flora and fauna. Bay Area in one side and Pacific Ocean on the other. There was a cute little cafe still open and serving its Sunday “roast only “ lunch . As we were only enquiring & I’m a vegetarian it didn’t quite suit but the receptionist was nonetheless very informative as to further options regarding futures plans should we wish to dine there. There’s public parking down there where kayaking seems to be the sport of choice , with bbq areas, benches /tables. However it’s the first place I’ve seen that refuses entry of pooches! Throughly lovely area with seemingly friendly folks !

This is a great little beach that is well-thought-out with barbecue facilities, shade, toilets, and a lovely sandy shore . It's an ideal afternoon swimming spot and watch the sunset. Rex and I had a great time.

Great beach for families. Calm waters and beautiful views of the boats and water. Recommend going late afternoon.
