Mona Vale Beach is a popular surf beach on the Northern Beaches renowned for its natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle.

Mona Vale Surf Life Saving Club has a long standing history, being established in 1922, and has strong connection to the local community. The Club is family oriented; it provides a vital service to the community and its primary goal is to keep beach users as safe as possible during the patrol hours.
