general information

Palm Beach is as far as you can drive up the Northern Beaches of Sydney. A beautiful beach popular with the rich and famous and home to TV's Home and Away.

Waves along Palmy do get good in the right conditions, a west wind and small to medium E swell are ideal. As the beach is quite long there is a good chance there will be a bank somewhere. Crowds are usually mellow as it is usually the locals only out there and they are pretty laid back.

If you are up for a drive or a day out, Palmy can be worth the trek.
