Discover Clareville on Pittwater

Clareville is defined by its waterfront and several clearly named places. Clareville Beach runs from Taylors Point in the south northwards along the Pittwater foreshore; the beach is set back from Delecta Avenue in Clareville. There is also a swimming enclosure at Taylors Point Baths, picnic areas and Taylors Point Wharf, with views of Pittwater. When planning, it is worth distinguishing between these focal points: the beach defines the foreshore, the Baths offer a swimming enclosure and picnic facilities, and the wharf is for recreation and views.

Beach and swimming enclosure

The route of Clareville Beach provides a clear north–south orientation: it extends from Taylors Point in the south northwards along the Pittwater foreshore. Its location set back from Delecta Avenue also places the beach within Clareville. Taylors Point Baths are a separate focal point. Their swimming enclosure is at the southern end of Taylors Beach in Clareville. If you are interested in swimming, distinguish the foreshore route of Clareville Beach from the specific location of the swimming enclosure. This keeps the two beach and water features clearly identified in your plans.

Lawn areas and picnic facilities

Two different areas are relevant when planning a picnic. Clareville Beach has a grassy lawn area suitable for picnics. The Taylors Point Baths area offers open lawn areas and picnic facilities. If you are looking for a picnic area right by the beach, Clareville Beach has the lawn area described for this purpose; in the Baths area, open lawns and facilities are the main picnic features. This distinction helps you choose between the areas when planning, rather than treating all the picnic facilities as one place.

Taylors Point Wharf and dinghy storage

Taylors Point Wharf adds another focal point. It is at the end of Taylors Point Road, set back from Hudson Parade in Clareville, and is primarily a recreational wharf. There is a small lawn area at the wharf, with seating and views of Pittwater. This sets it apart from the picnic areas and swimming enclosure described above: here, the focus is on the wharf’s recreational purpose and the view from the seating area. Dinghy storage is available nearby.

Clareville Beach Watercraft Storage has 190 vertical dinghy storage spaces, with a maximum length of 3 m. Both the number of spaces and the length limit for the facility are specified. The number of spaces may change; if this information is important for your plans, check the current details.

Planning your stay

The pedestrian infrastructure is also clearly tied to a specific location: an 800 m footpath extension was completed along the northern side of Hudson Parade in Clareville. It dates from 2019. The footpath extension runs along the northern side of Hudson Parade. Choose the Clareville focal point that best suits your travel plans.

Conditions and safety information at the swimming enclosure, as well as details about picnic areas, wharf facilities and storage space numbers, may change. Check the latest information before your visit if needed.
