• From 11:00 am – Presentations upstairs at the surf club

Once you finish your ocean swim there is plenty to do right under your nose.

First and foremost, there will be a BBQ at the club and fresh fruit for finishers.

Everyone is welcome upstairs in the surf club’s members’ lounge, the Cook Terrace, for presentations from 11 am.

You can also take a walk through the beautiful Mona Vale headland or relax on the beach and take in the spectacular views. Check out the Brightside Cafe or lunch with a view at The Basin Dining, all new establishments in our new Mona Vale Surf Life Saving Club.

Further on Darley Street are more cafes, restaurants and shops to explore.

There are a couple of other hidden gems in Mona Vale. If you’re after a refreshing juice or smoothie, the Bare Wholefoods cafe is the place to try.

Much like all the northern beaches, there are beach carparks scattered along the beach and free on-street parking. The locals are beach people, and if you’re not there early you’ll be turning your swim into a walk swim walk.

For those entered in the Don Jenkin Memorial from Warriewood, you can catch the event bus that will depart from Mona Vale between 8.30-9:30 am. Please don’t wait until the last bus at 10am.
