Palm Beach is in Sydney, so there's the entirity of Sydney.

Answer 3

Palm Beach is beautiful.  There is no real Home & Away set - it is just the North Palm Beach Surf Club.  Interior scenes are shot elsewhere.  As well as the surf beach there is an inlet called Pittwater on the other side, about 200 metres away from the surf club.  This has its own beauties.

I can recommend the walk to the lighthouse on top of Barrenjoey.  You get great views in all directions.  At the right time of year it is good foe whale watching.  There are a few celebs hanging around, but the locals think it is very uncool to take any notice of them.

You can do a ferry ride across Pittwater to the Basin, which is a camping/picnic area in Kuringai National Park.  There are also longer tours past West Head and up the Hawkesbury River, or across past Lion Island to Brisbane Water and Gosford.  You could try a seaplane flight.

But Palm Beach (and the other far Northern beaches like Whale Beach and Avalon) are up there as the most spectacularly beautiful urban areas in the world.  Just hang out, hit the beaches, have a coffee and watch the world go by...
