Palm Beach, which is the northernmost beach in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan area, is famous for it's breathtaking lighthouse and golden sand beaches. Made popular by a TV show here in Australia, Palm Beach is now a playground for the rich and famous and Sydney's elite. While the beach is free, expect parking and other amenities in this area to be pricey.

The reason to come here is the free coastal hike to the headlands where the lighthouse sits. It gives you sweeping views of Sydney's Pittwater Bay and the Pacific Ocean. This is also the perfect place to come whale spotting as the Humpback Whales make their journey along the coast. Whales can be spotted from May to November, but peak in June and July! Palm Beach offers a mix of cafes, restaurants, and recreational facilities, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists looking to enjoy the sun, surf, and laid-back coastal lifestyle.
