Garie Beach is a patrolled beach in the lower Royal National Park, on the outskirts of southern Sydney in New South Wales, Australia. The beach is one of eleven beaches located within the Royal National Park and is the southernmost beach in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan area. It is also one of three patrolled beaches in the park, with the Garie Surf Life Saving Club patrolling the beach on weekends and paid lifeguards from ALS Australian Lifeguard Services patrolling on weekdays during the summer school holidays.
Facilities
Garie Beach is accessible via Garie Road, and has a carpark. It has no barbecue but has toilets, a surf safety centre, a kiosk, and a picnic area. A youth hostel was previously nearby, but burnt down in December 2010 and has not been rebuilt.
