Tickets and Tours to Discover Palm Beach Tan

Palm Beach Tan

Travellers adore the secluded cove at the point of a promontory for its white sand, tranquil waves, and laid-back atmosphere. Australians are familiar with this long, lovely beach as the setting for the well-known soap opera "Home and Away." The forested hillsides that surround "Palmie," as locals refer to it, are home to some of Sydney's most prestigious real estate.

The Basics

Swimmers can make use of an enclosed ocean swimming pool for early morning laps while body boarders, paddlers, and kayakers can enjoy Palm Beach's mild waves. Beautiful views of the beach, the harbour, and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park may be had by ascending the old Barrenjoey Lighthouse. This is where almost all vehicle tours of the Palm Beaches come to an end, and from the air, on a seaplane or helicopter flight, you can see the region. Fans of "Home and Away" can see the actual places where the show's fictional Summer Bay was filmed on guided excursions.

Things to Know Before You Go

Palm Beach offers to park, however it is rather pricey.

There are luxury waterfront restaurants in the vicinity of the beach.

Near the parking area, there are public restrooms, showers, and changing rooms.

How to Get There

At the end of Barrenjoey Road, between Pittwater and Broken Bay, and 28 miles (45 kilometres) north of Sydney's CBD, sits Palm Beach. Wynyard station and Circular Quay both have buses that travel to the location; the trip takes roughly 1.5 hours. The Central Coast suburb of Ettalong and Palm Beach are connected by ferry service.

When to Get There

Although Palm Beach is open all year round, the best time to go swimming and surfing is during the Australian summer (December to February). From May to November, whale-watching trips are offered.

Sydney’s Northern Beaches

The northernmost of Sydney's Northern Beaches, a 25-mile (40-kilometre) stretch of beaches that are favoured by residents, is Palm Beach. The other two are Shelly Beach, a protected marine reserve more suited for snorkelling, and Manly, a renowned surfing location with some of New South Wales' best breaks. Family-friendly Avalon has many restaurants and a rock pool for swimming while Narrabeen has both incredible surfing waves and a walking and jogging route.
