Located at Governor Phillip Park, the iconic Palm Beach Market has been running since 2008. Sitting at the most northerly tip of Sydney, it’s the destination of choice for tourists, day-trippers and locals… alike who are drawn to Palm Beach for its idyllic setting and picture postcard scenery. The market offers customers a wide selection of products to browse including high quality homewares, fashion and jewelry. You could pick up a loaf of fresh bread, grab some homemade cakes, or take home some local honey. There’s always plenty on offer at Palm Beach. Why not stay for lunch? There is a great variety of food stalls to choose from including  Traditional Fish and Chips, Gozleme, Dumplings or perhaps a fresh juice. And of course, there is great coffee!
