Palm Beach

Description
Palm Beach has become recognisable around the world as Summer Bay from the Australian television soap Home and Away. Most of the beach area, apart from the small protected areas at either end, it is permanently exposed to the elements. Barrenjoey Head looms over North Palm Beach, which is unpatrolled at its furthest tip. This section of the beach is usually where you find the surfers, joggers and hikers on the Barrenjoey Lighthouse bushwalk. The North Palm surf club, is where you will find a kiosk, car park and other facilities are located at roughly in the middle of the beach. The southern end of Palm Beach is a more protected environment for swimming than the waves further north. Also there is a 35-metre ocean pool which sits on the rocks at the end of the beach.
