Explore Collaroy and Surrounds
As you explore the beautiful coastal suburb of Collaroy, you will find amazing views, historic buildings and a wide-range of accessible shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.
The Northern Beaches Council is committed to making our local precinct 100% wheelchair friendly. There have been recent upgrades to the beach facilities and surf lifesaving club (including a lift, adult change table and hoist) as well as the area directly in front of Sargood on Collaroy which now has accessible toilets and paths. We are fortunate to offer wheelchair friendly accommodation in such a stunning location.
Beyond our wheelchair accessible accommodation, our local businesses are also committed to making the Collaroy precinct wheelchair friendly and have adapted their shops, restaurants and cafes where necessary.
The interactive map below will help guide you through the accessible options, which are just moments from Sargood on Collaroy.
