If you enjoy a journey swim (from point to point) then the Around The Bends – Newport to Avalon ocean swim has got to be on your hit list.
Organised by the Avalon surf club – who also run the Avalon Beach surf swim – this epic swim will take you north from Newport Beach, past Bilgola Beach, to finish at the host club’s Avalon Beach.
These longer 2.5km journey swims are hard to come by, so make sure you’ve got this one firmly in your sights.
When you’re done, celebrate locally at cafe’s like Nourished: The Healthy Food Co.
