Sydney/Palm Beach

From Wikitravel

Jump to: navigation, search

Palm Beach is the most northern of Sydney's Northern Beaches and the most northerly suburb of the city's metropolitan area.

[edit] Understand

Palm Beach is one of the larger of Sydney's beaches, being approximately 2-3 km long along the Pacific Ocean shore. The beachside suburb of Palm Beach backs on to Pittwater, a large southern inlet of Broken Bay, making the locality about as surrounded by water as is possible, without actually being an island. The peninsula is home to many of Sydney's wealthiest inhabitants, who appreciate the tranquil atmosphere and "convenient" isolation.

The popular Australian soap opera Home and Away (popular in Australia and the UK) is partially filmed at Palm Beach - fans of the show will easily recognise some of the local views.

[edit][add listing] Do

Beach stuff, of course! The sand at Palm Beach is particularly clean and the ocean at Palm Beach is probably at its cleanest anywhere in Sydney. There is frequently a decent swell for surfers.

Walk up onto Barrenjoey Head and see the lighthouse, an opportunity to gaze across Broken Bay to Brisbane Water, Lion Island and the Central Coast.
