Clareville on Pittwater: Beach, Lawn and Taylors Point

Clareville can be explored through several specific places by the water and their different features. Clareville Beach stretches north along the Pittwater foreshore from Taylors Point in the south. There are also the swimming enclosure at Taylors Point Baths, picnic areas and Taylors Point Wharf. These local features offer different points to consider when planning your holiday: the stretch of beach, a swimming enclosure, lawns or seating with a view of the water. If you’re looking for a holiday rental, you can first consider which of these features best suits your plans.

Clareville Beach and the Pittwater foreshore

Clareville Beach runs north along the Pittwater foreshore from Taylors Point in the south and is located in Clareville, away from Delecta Avenue. Taylors Point and Pittwater provide two specific reference points for the beach’s location; Delecta Avenue adds further context to the description. This helps identify Clareville Beach as a stretch of foreshore, while Taylors Point Baths is a separate, named landmark. If the beach is a key consideration when choosing where to stay, you can take this stretch of foreshore into account as one focus for your days in Clareville.

Swimming enclosure and recreational wharf

Taylors Point Baths, with a swimming enclosure, are at the southern end of Taylors Beach in Clareville. The enclosure is a specific feature of this location. If this type of swimming suits your plans, you can include the Baths as a separate stop in your day’s itinerary. Conditions at the enclosure and local notices may change; check them before your visit.

Taylors Point Wharf is at the end of Taylors Point Road, off Hudson Parade, and is primarily a recreational wharf. The wharf has a small grassy area with seating and views of Pittwater. There is also dinghy storage nearby. The beach, swimming enclosure and wharf each offer a different focus: the wharf has its own connection to the water, with seating and views of Pittwater, while the swimming enclosure is the defining feature of the Baths.

Picnic areas and getting around on foot

Clareville Beach has a landscaped lawn suitable for picnics. There are open lawns and picnic facilities in the Taylors Point Baths area. If you’re planning an outdoor break together, there are two clearly identified locations to consider: the picnic lawn at Clareville Beach and the lawns in the Baths area. Choose between them based on your plans for the day, while keeping in mind that the beach and the Baths are separate locations.

Pedestrian infrastructure is also a specific part of getting around the area. In 2019, an 800-metre footpath extension was completed along the northern side of Hudson Parade in Clareville. Its length and location make the project easy to identify if you’re considering how to get around on foot. It adds a distinct infrastructure feature alongside the beach and water-related locations.

Watercraft and choosing a holiday rental

Clareville Beach Watercraft Storage has 190 vertical storage spaces for dinghies up to a maximum length of 3 metres. For travellers planning to bring their own dinghy, this is a specific detail to consider when choosing a destination. As the number of spaces may change, check the current capacity before making it a firm part of your plans.

When looking for a holiday rental, it helps to first decide what matters most: do you want the beach to be the focus of your stay, are you interested in the swimming enclosure, or are the seating area at the wharf, the picnic areas or the pedestrian infrastructure more important? These distinctions make Clareville a more specific destination and help you plan your holiday. Then compare the location details for each accommodation with the local feature that matters to your plans.
