Palm Beach

Palm Beach is a coastal suburb in Northern Beaches where the shoreline stretches for several kilometers and is lined with sandy areas and grassy spaces. The water near shore is relatively shallow, making it popular for various water sports and swimming.

The area began as a residential community in the 1950s, with streets laid out using a simple numbering system. This early development formed the foundation for the settlement that has continued to grow since then.

The beach has long served as a gathering place for swimmers and surfers who come to enjoy the water throughout the year. The local community maintains strong ties to the ocean, which shape how people spend their time here.

The beach has several access points from the main street network, with designated walking paths and parking areas along the coast. Visitors should be aware of water conditions, as the ocean can vary in intensity depending on the season.

The area has a long tradition of lifesaving organizations that trace back to the early years of the 20th century. These groups have shaped life at the beach for generations and remain part of the local identity.
