Unlike its bustling northern neighbors, this beach offers a relaxed, village-like atmosphere with a vibrant local dining scene. Surfers ride consistent breaks at the Tallebudgera Creek mouth, while families enjoy the calm southern end. The surrounding bushland and Burleigh Head National Park provide scenic coastal walks with panoramic views. By day, explore rock pools and spot dolphins; by evening, dine at alfresco restaurants serving fresh seafood. Palm Beach perfectly balances laid-back beach culture with modern amenities, making it ideal for those seeking both adventure and tranquility.",[10,13],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","999",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","112",[17,20,23,26,29,32,35],{"key":18,"value":19},"Do I need a visa?","Most visitors need an eVisitor (subclass 651) or ETA (subclass 601) for stays up to 3 months.
