Palm Beach

Exclusive Palm Beach might only be 40km north of the heart of the city, but Sydney’s most northern suburb feels more like a seaside village than millionaires’ row. Sensational homes creep down the sandstone cliffs of this narrow peninsula, overlooking the Pacific on one side and the idyllic sailing waters of Pittwater on the other. It’s a special spot where for decades the rich and famous have been coming for weekends and holidays among the locals.

Essentials

01 It’s all about the view. The higher up the hill your house is, the better. No infinity-edged pool? Try the ocean.
02 Hit the lengthy beach to walk, run, swim and for people watching.
03 Who’s renting what house and when is all-important come Christmas.
04 Hit the walking trail up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse. Great exercise and views.
05 Pack your boardshorts and a surfboard. You can’t live without them at Palmy.
