Main

CategorySuburbsSummaryPalm Beach is the northernmost suburb of the Northern Beaches and of metropolitan Sydney. The suburb is named after the cabbage tree palms that grow at the southern end of the Palm Beach ocean beach. In the nineteenth century fishermen lived on the isthmus below Barrenjoey headland. In 1843 the government built a Customs House at the base of the headland to discourage traders smuggling goods into through Broken Bay. In 1881 Barrenjoey Lighthouse was built. In the twentieth century the suburb became a retreat for Sydney’s social elite and residential development gradually increased.MenuPlace | Suburbs N-P | Palm Beach (N.S.W.)SubjectsPalm Beach (NSW)
