Dangar Beach Studio - Absolute Beach Front

StephRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My partner and I had the most beautiful stay at Jock’s boat house on Dangar. It exceeded all our expectations - was hands down one of the best airbnb experiences we’ve both had. The place was literally on the beach with the most incredible view - we could have just stared out that window the whole time it was that gorgeous. The place was absolutely spotless when we arrived, we were particularly impressed by how immaculate the bathroom was. Jock’s place had really thoughtful touches and included everything you could possibly need kitchen wise. Jock was a very friendly and welcoming host, even allowing us to make the most of our last day with a late checkout - Thanks Jock! Such a special special stay. We will definitely be back :)

Avalon Beach Tropical Retreat

DarrylRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Had a wonderful stay at Remo’s place in Avalon. The views were beautiful, the bed super comfortable, and the home had stylish, modern touches. It was peaceful with a lovely garden, and perfect for our dog. Just a short drive to shops and beaches. Remo was a great host and shared helpful local tips. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful Airbnb experience this was, Paul’s place was sparkling clean, comfortable, well located, and communication was efficient with a late check out allowed. This was our second time in Avalon and we will definitely look to stay here in the future when visiting again.

Beachside escape steps from the surf & village

AislingRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A beautiful apartment in an unbeatable location, with the beach just steps away. Paul was excellent with communication—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. The apartment itself was very spacious, with a lovely living area and extremely comfortable beds that made for a restful stay. We initially expected a beach view from the balcony, which wasn’t the case, so just a heads-up for future guests. That said, the proximity to the beach more than made up for it. Overall, a fantastic stay and we'd happily return!"

Your guide to Palm Beach

Welcome to Palm Beach

Occupying a peninsula at Sydney’s northern tip, Palm Beach, or “Palmy,” stretches for 2.3 kilometres — and its golden beach doubles as the setting for a certain long-running TV soap that launched the careers of some renowned Aussie actors. Fringed by some of Sydney’s swankiest real estate, the southern end of the beach is the safest and most popular swimming spot, complete with a sparkling 50-metre ocean pool. At the northern end, a historic lighthouse sits atop Barrenjoey Head, which rises 100 metres above the cerulean sea. On the western side of the peninsular lies the wide, tidal estuary of Pittwater, a haven for boaters.

While Palm Beach is primarily a residential suburb, there are several cafes and restaurants dotted along the main road that curls around the peninsula from Pittwater to Palmy’s surf beach.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Palm Beach

Palm Beach is at its busiest during the balmy summer months. Visit outside school holidays and summer weekends for ease of parking, and for more space to spread out on the sand. Like most beaches on the Northern Beaches peninsula, Palm Beach is patrolled by lifeguards from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from September until the end of April. There are also lifeguards stationed at North Palm Beach on weekends. While some locals swim year-round, the water becomes too chilly for most in April before warming up again in November. Visitor numbers dwindle during the winter months; however, this can be a nice time to wander up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse, the perfect vantage point to spot migrating whales.


Top things to do in Palm Beach

Barrenjoey Lighthouse

Part of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Barrenjoey Head’s iconic lighthouse was built in 1881 from locally quarried sandstone. It’s an easy one-kilometre walk uphill from the Governor Phillip car park, or you can scramble up the shorter Smugglers Track. Guided lighthouse tours are available on Sundays, but the panorama of the peninsula is worth the walk any day of the week.

Pittwater

Technically a drowned valley estuary, Pittwater is sandwiched between the West Head precinct of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the west and the Palm Beach peninsula to the east. A regular ferry service connects Palm Beach with West Head; alight at the Basin Wharf to hike to an ancient Aboriginal art site. You can also explore Pittwater on a boat tour, or by stand-up paddleboard or kayak, with paddle craft rentals available in Clareville and at Bayswater, southwest of Palm Beach.

Patonga

Get a taste of the Central Coast without hitting the road by taking a 30-minute ferry ride from Palm Beach to Patonga Beach. The ferry makes half a dozen return journeys on weekends, and one return trip during the week. Surrounded by Brisbane Water National Park, Patonga is a scenic spot to laze on the beach, enjoy a long waterfront lunch, or go for a hike.
