Bungan Beach

Surf beach · Newport

A 600 m surf beach between Bungan Head and Mona Vale Head, reached on foot down a steep path. Bush backs the whole beach, there are few facilities, and the walk keeps the crowds away. Lovely at sunrise.

Parking at the top is limited, and it is a real climb back up. There is a toilet in the surf club building and a shower outside.

Bungan Beach Road, Newport NSW 2106
