Winter is fast approaching and what a great time to get away for a romantic weekend away. With great specials on the houses over winter, there is no better time to experience the northern beaches of Sydney. Here are 5 of the best things to do in the area this winter

1 – Take a morning walk along Palm Beach. Rug up with your favourite coat and and experience the beach with no one on it! Relax with a hot coffee in hand and watch the surfers in the surf or stroll to the far end of the beach and see Palm Beach from a different angle

2 – Snuggle up in front of a roaring log fire in one of the holiday houses on a wintery weekend night with your favourite book or movie on the TV. Rockridge, Sunrise over Whale or Kookaburra are just a few houses to name that have log fire places and take weekend rentals.

3 – Breakfast at The Healthy Chef on a Sunday morning in Avalon. You will get one of the best breakfasts in the area knowing that it is all good for you as well.

4 – Have a meal at the Boat House in Palm Beach. Watch the Sea Plane come in and take off as it flies around the Northern Beaches. Take a stroll along the beach after lunch or just watch the sun set over West Head.

5 – Visit Barrenjoey Light House and look at one of the best views in Sydney. It is open on the first Sunday of every month and entry is by donation. Remember to take a water bottle with you and a camera to remember the occasion.
