Best things to do in Palm Beach

Gold Coast

Palm Beach on the Gold Coast, or 'Palmy' as the locals call it, is a spectacular long white sand beach bookended by Currumbin and Tallebudgera Creeks. Undergoing a major metamorphosis in recent times, Palm Beach has emerged as one of the coast's coolest burbs. From chic cafés, trendy bars and top-tier restaurants to farmer's markets, op-shops, pristine parklands and beautiful beaches - there's something for everyone to enjoy.
