What to expect

Palm Beach, also known as 'Palmy', is a suburb in the Northern Beaches region of Greater Sydney, located 41 kilometers north of the Sydney central business district.

It's a great spot for surfing and has a gentle arc of beach that curves between the prominent Barrenjoey Head and the sandstone rocks of Little Head. The area is also home to a variety of artists and has been used as the filming location for the soap opera 'Home and Away', with the beach being referred to as 'Summer Bay'.
