Beach Road, Palm Beach, NSW 2108

This road is a short strip between Barrenjoey Road and Ocean Rd at the very end of the Pittwater Peninsula, at prestigious Palm Beach.

There are a few older style cottages on the south side of the road, and then further behind on the slopes are larger properties, some of monolithic proportions. Many will have wonderful views of the ocean, Pittwater, and the lighthouse on the headland.

Being Palm Beach, regardless of the views, this is prime real estate, and even the small older cottages would fetch a pretty penny.

The northern side of the street is home to the Palm Beach Golf Club, and extends into large Governor Phillip Park, and upwards to Barrenjoey Headland and Lighthouse. There’s a walking trail up to the top, and it affords wonderful views of this beautiful location.

The western side of Governor Phillip Park provides a calm sandy beach, and a rustic over-water café, where you can also hire small boats for use on Pittwater. The other side of the park leads down to the Pacific Ocean – which can be wild at times.

There are a couple of restaurants on Beach Road, including ‘Beach Road Restaurant’ funnily enough. But my pick for the whole area would be Dunes Restaurant, which is inside the park itself. It doesn’t provide views, but it has a lovely alfresco area, the food is good, and the prices not excessive.

There is also a small playground in Governor Phillip Park.
