Summer Bay from Home and Away is the most legendary location in Australian soap operas. The real filming site for this beloved show is equally as real and thrilling as the rich plots that are filmed there, in contrast to most filming sets.
Palm Beach is a stunning location where Sydney meets the ocean, about 44 kilometers upriver from Sydney. It boasts incredible golden sands, excellent surf, and stunning views, all tucked between Broken Bay and the Hawkesbury River.

Although Palm Beach is portrayed in Home and Away as Summer Bay, it’s actually a quite upscale area. The area, with its gorgeous slopes covered with million-dollar homes, has long been a favorite among Sydney’s elite.
Palm Beach is all about savoring the small things in life, whether it’s a leisurely trip to the Barrenjoey Head lighthouse, discovering hidden natural areas, or the spectacular views at Governor Phillip Park.
There is no shortage of options for people who are feeling inspired to visit Palm Beach, including a ferry from the city center. A glimpse of that seaside grandeur can be found at restaurants like Palm Beach Wine Co. and Barrenjoey House, which serve exquisite food.
There are several options for lodging, ranging from upscale establishments like Jonah’s Boutique Hotel to more relaxed rentals like Rockridge and Crane Lodge.
