Up for an unforgettable adventure? 🦭✨

Head to Palm Beach, a chill beach with a fancy restaurant. On the one side, you have an exposed surf beach and on the other side, a beach with still waters. 🏄

There's a trail leading up to the lighthouse with amazing views, but you're here for the seals, aren't you?! 🦭

To spot the seals, you have to walk up the calm beach towards the lighthouse until it ends in boulders. Then climb the boulders along the water's edge until you find the seals. It's easiest at low tide.

We climbed for around 20 minutes before we spotted the 5 seals relaxing in the sun and playing in the water. They didn't mind us at all, and we were just 2 meters apart.

Keep in mind that they're wild animals and you should not annoy them and be respectful!!! 💕

You can also book a kayak tour to spot the seals.

Palm Beach, known as 'Palmy' to the locals, is a chill beach spot at the exclusive end of Sydney's Northern Beaches. With golden sands and clear waters, it's a popular destination for coastal activities. You can fly into Sydney Airport and drive just over an hour north to reach this laid-back paradise. Whether you're soaking up the sun on the beach or exploring the surrounding area, Palm Beach offers a relaxed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
