About The Boathouse Palm Beach
The Boathouse Palm Beach sits on Barrenjoey Beach on the Pittwater side of the peninsula, a few minutes from Palm Beach Wharf. It is the archetypal Sydney summer lunch — seafood, rosé and a slow afternoon. Arriving by water taxi from Newport, Church Point or across from Ettalong avoids the Barrenjoey Road traffic completely.
