As a new Sydney-ite I have been out and about exploring the town but last weekend I decided to really get out and visit the northern beaches, in particular Palm Beach, that little beachside town that is otherwise known as Summer Bay. Ah yes, I am a Home and Away fan from way back and then some. My mother is a devotee whose 7pm to 7.30pm time slot is always reserved for that precious television show! Of course, like mother like daughter and up until my uni years I too was a Home and Away tragic. Not so much any more though.
Walking around Palm Beach, or as I called it all day Summer Bay, was a very surreal experience. It felt like I was walking around in an episode, going to the beach to meet up with my love interest or grabbing a smoothie from the Surf Club to talk things over with Indi and Dex. What I wasn't surprised by was how beautiful the area is. It is everything that it looks like on TV but even more stunning in real life. Those original set researchers sure made the right decision!
We spent most of the time on the beach which was surprisingly empty for its beauty and then ventured to the other side of the Bay to The Boathouse Palm Beach for lunch and a sweet - which I believe is used as an outside shot for The Diner... The Boathouse was an amazing choice for lunch. There were bunches of fresh flowers and floral arrangements everywhere, bowls of fresh fruit and citrus and not to mention fresh and tasty food! I had an yummy meringue and huge ice coffee which was just what I needed to get me through the two hour bus ride back to Sydney!
