Review:
Avalon Beach is the beautiful central beach of Sydney suburb Avalon, which was developed in 1833 following a land grant to Rev. J.J. Therry for the purposes of coal mining. Today, the region is one of the few remaining areas in the greater Sydney region that is home to sizeable populations of koalas, located less than 35 kilometers north of Sydney's central business district. The beach, which is internationally known for an appearance in the American television series Baywatch, is a prime spot for swimming, fishing, surfing, and windsurfing, with a tranquil rock swimming pool area offered for families at the beach's southern end. A park area near the beach also offers day-use picnic tables and barbecue grills. Shops, restaurants, cinemas, and supermarkets are all within walking distance of the beach in Avalon.
