With its many coves, beaches and surrounding National Park, the views of Pittwater are incredible. It’s no wonder it’s a sailor’s paradise.
If your an avid Home and Away fan, you can easily pick out the places where the show is filmed: the beach, the Summer Bay Surf Club, and the diner, which in real life is called The Boathouse Palm Beach and is always busy.
It’s isolated and tranquil and charming, you could walk right by someone like Mick Jagger and not even know (it’s rumoured that he once spent $250,000 at the Wine Store at Palm Beach!)
Palm Beach is the furthest point north of Sydney. To get there from the city, you will have to drive or catch L90 bus from Wynyard Station in Sydney CBD.
Alternatively, opt for the B-Line bus from Wynyard Station to Mona Vale, then switch to the 199 bus that will take you directly to Palm Beach. Alternatively, there is a beautiful ferry ride across the Hawkesbury River from Ettalong.
