Easter Edition Northern Beaches Life
Northern Beaches Life
Hi everyone,
Happy Easter from the Northern Beaches.
Tomorrow Good Friday kicks off one of my favourite long weekends of the year. The autumn air is settling in, the light is turning that golden afternoon colour it only gets at this time of year, and the beaches feel a little more magical when the rush of summer is behind us.
I have rounded up everything happening across our patch this Easter so you and the family know exactly where to be and when.
Let’s get into it.

EGGS BY THE LAKE: THE BIG ONE
If you are doing one thing this Good Friday, make it this.
Eggs by the Lake kicks off at 11am on April 3 and this year they have set up over 10,000 Easter eggs across the grounds. Add old school games, food vans, live music and a genuinely brilliant community atmosphere, and you have got yourself a perfect Good Friday morning.
This is the Northern Beaches doing what it does best: getting families together in a beautiful spot and having a seriously good time.
Pack some sunscreen. Get in early. You will not regret it.

Q STATION EASTER EGG HUNT: NORTH HEAD, MANLY
If you want something a bit more special this Easter Saturday, the Q Station egg hunt at North Head is hard to beat.
One of Sydney’s most historic locations, perched right above the harbour with views that will stop you in your tracks. Sessions run from 10:30am through to 3pm on Saturday 4 April, with bookings at 10:30am, 11:00am, 11:30am, 12:00pm and 12:30pm.
Tickets are $20 for kids and $25 for adults. All tickets include a drink, and the kids’ tickets come with the egg hunt and a treat.
Book ahead because sessions fill up fast.

GOLDEN RIDGE ANIMAL FARM: TERREY HILLS
For the little ones, the Golden Ridge Animal Farm petting zoo is back at The Palms Pavilions in Terrey Hills on Easter Saturday. Running 2pm to 4pm on April 4. Free entry, $5 feed buckets. Based at 18 Myoora Road, Terrey Hills.
Simple, wholesome, and the kind of afternoon that kids remember for years.
EASTER SUNDAY: THE BUNNY IS COMING TO HARBORD DIGGERS
Easter Sunday at Harbord Diggers includes a visit from the Easter Bunny plus face painting and the usual great family vibes. And up at Pittwater RSL: Disney movies, free popcorn and ice blocks, and family Pickleball from 11am. Perfect for the whole crew.
THE BEACH IS CALLING
One thing I always tell buyers when they are making the call on the Northern Beaches: come back in autumn.
Summer gets all the attention. And rightly so. But April on the Beaches is something else entirely. The crowds ease, the water is still warm from summer, the light goes golden by mid-afternoon, and the whole place just breathes out.
If you have been sitting on the fence about making a move here, come for a drive this Easter weekend. Take the coastal walk from Manly to Spit Bridge. Park at Narrabeen and walk the lagoon. Grab breakfast around Collaroy and watch the Easter Sunday morning unfold. This is what you would be buying into.
A WORD ON THE MARKET
The Northern Beaches has been quietly outperforming the broader Sydney market all year. While Sydney averaged around 55% clearance last weekend, the Northern Beaches was sitting in the mid-70s. That gap tells a story: buyers are choosing lifestyle, community and long-term value.
If you are thinking about selling in the next few months, Easter weekend is a quieter period for listings but a strong one for buyer intent. The people out here over Easter are often seriously considering a move.
If you want to know what your property is worth in this market, I am always happy for a no-pressure conversation.
