Well Daylight Savings has finished and the first colder winds are creeping up on the Northern Beaches but with the Easter School Holidays only a few days away, there is still time for one last trip to the beach before you swap the swimmers for the jumpers.

This time if year is perfect for a getaway to the beaches. There are no crowds and the houses are very affordable so take advantage of the school holidays or even the Special Easter period which has 4 public Holidays out of 5 days and make the most of the short post Easter week and have some relaxing time at the beach. Planning it right could give you a break of 10 days for only 3 work days!!!!!

With the days getting shorter it might be worth looking at some other areas around Pittwater such as Clareville or Mackerel Beach for something different. Here are a few good places to stay and take advantage of the afternoon sunshine.

http://www.nbholidays.com.au/properties/Clareville/The-Clareville-Beach-Cottage/177 – Nestled on Clareville Beach and a perfect family holiday destination all year round. Where else can you run onto the sand at the edge of the garden?

http://www.nbholidays.com.au/properties/Great-Mackerel-Beach/Orb-and-Ethel—-s/139 – perhaps one of the best kept secrets in Sydney. I can guarantee that you will have Wallabies jumping through the garden at night time and the best thing is that you will have a guaranteed relaxing time.

http://www.nbholidays.com.au/Palm-BeachAccommodation/Paradise/117 – What a place to see the sun set over the National Park. Here you can get every last second of afternoon sun and wow….what a sunset.

So make the most of the school holidays and get away before the winter period sets in…..but even then the beaches are a great place to sneak away to for a romantic weekend away in front of a cosy log fire as well……Perfect all year round!
