Activities and amenities in Bushland Beach
Bushland Beach is an idyllic beachside suburb, so one of its biggest drawcards is the water. Boaties, fishers and kayakers will love the calm, clear waters of the sea at high tide. The nearby Black River also makes a great spot for those who want to spend a few hours fishing on land.
The quiet beaches mean you and your family have a lot of room for activities, whether it's a picnic, a revitalising swim or walking the dog. Best of all, there are a number of parks throughout the suburb.
Although Bushland Beach itself doesn't currently have any schools, there are educational facilities very close by. Neighbouring suburbs Jensen and Deeragun are home to Northern Beaches State High School, Bohlvale Preschool and State School, as well as St Anthony's Catholic College. Families with young ones will also enjoy the early childhood centre conveniently located in the heart of Bushland Beach.
