Palm Beach Shopping Centre

Palm Beach is one of the northernmost suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is also one of its most expensive. Palm Beach is the northernmost part of the Northern Beaches area of Sydney. It lies beside Pittwater and Broken Bay, and is adjacent to the suburbs of Whale Beach and Avalon.

Barrenjoey headland at the northernmost point rises quite sharply from the beach to over 100 meters above sea level. Although there are no public roads on the headland, the walk up is well worth the effort, with spectacular views of the surrounding area. Barrenjoey headland features an operational lighthouse which is perched picturesquely on the top. This 1881 structure stands 113 m above the ocean, but it's the stupendous view across Broken Bay and Lion Island that is the real reward should you put in the 20 minutes needed to climb to the top.

Palm Beach, boasts a fine stretch of ocean beach, which is great for surfing and fishing, there are many grassed areas for picnics. Palm Beach Shops offer many attractions from stylish Cafes and restaurants to many specialist shops.

Palm Beach leads a double life as "Summer Bay" in the famous Aussie soap Home and Away, with the Barrenjoey Lighthouse and headland regularly in shot. Palm Beach was named after the Cabbage Tree palms Livistona australis. The plant's species name gave origin to Livistona Lane off Palm Beach Road. Palm Beach Surf Life Saving Club was established in 1921.
