Dee Why's beach, lagoon and main road

Beach and lagoon

Dee Why Beach runs for about 1.2 km along the suburb's eastern edge, with Dee Why Lagoon behind the dunes to the north of The Strand and the cliffs of Dee Why Head to the south.

Pittwater Road

The shops and offices sit on both sides of Pittwater Road, the main arterial road on the Northern Beaches, and the buses, including the B-Line between the city and Mona Vale, run along it too. Warringah Road heads west to Chatswood.

Apartments and street parking

Dee Why's housing is denser than the Australian average, so a lot of cars live in shared car parks or on the street, out in the weather.

Brookvale next door

The beaches' big industrial area is next door at Brookvale, handy if the car needs a workshop with a hoist.

Keeping salt off a Dee Why car

RAC WA's advice for a car exposed to salt air or salt water is to wash it as soon as you can, and at least once a month. That includes the underneath, where salt sits on brake lines, the exhaust and suspension parts out of sight.

At each service, ask the mechanic to check the underbody and the sills for rust while the car's up on the hoist. Car service in Sydney covers what else belongs in a service, and pink slips in Sydney covers the yearly inspection.

What we'd do

We'd wash the car, underneath included, at least monthly and after any day parked by the beach, and ask for a rust check at every service. It's a small habit that saves a big repair.

Questions people ask

Where can I park near the beach in Dee Why?

There's street parking to the south of the beach and a car park next to the Life Saving Club. Give the car a rinse afterwards if it's been sitting in the sea breeze.

Can I get a pink slip in Dee Why?

Pink slips come from AIS stations, or a mobile AIS provider can inspect where the car is parked. Choose "Roadworthy or safety check" in the card and add 2099.
