Sunrise over Boomerang Beach
(Boomerang Beach, NSW, Australia)

Three and a half hours north of Sydney lies an unassuming area of the world known as Pacific Palms. Nestled on its pristine shoreline sits two beaches that punch well above their weight; Boomerang Beach and Blueys. A popular local surf spot, as well as a weekend getaway for Sydneysiders, Boomerang Beach is a perfect family friendly getaway. It’s also an ideal spot for you and your four legged friend, as you’ll find the whole neighbourhood comes out with their pups for an early morning stroll or a late afternoon walk on the beach.

The area is packed with holiday rentals, from cosy beach cottages to modern retreats tucked within the laid-back neighbourhoods. Whether you’re on a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo surf escape, there’s a spot for everyone. And when the salt air works up your appetite, there’s nothing better than grabbing a fresh, wood-fired pizza from a local favourite—because who doesn’t love a beach day followed by a slice (or three)?

Slow Down and Disconnect

One of Boomerang Beach’s greatest charms is its unhurried pace. There’s no traffic noise or city rush—just the soothing sounds of waves crashing and birds singing from nearby Booti Booti National Park. It’s the kind of place where you flip on some Jack Johnson, kick off your thongs and let the world spin a bit slower.

A Photographer’s Paradise

A photographer’s dream, Boomerang Beach is a great spot to catch a sunrise over the South Pacific Ocean. Framed by towering headlands on either side, the white sand beaches capture the golden rays of the sun as it starts you off on another day of fun in the sand and surf.

So, get up the coast and discover this little slice of paradise. We’ve stayed in this beautiful AirBNB. Affordable, yet only steps from the beach, it’s the perfect place to spend a weekend away.
