This already famous location became even more iconic in March 2008, with it being the location for Summer Bay's brand new Pier Diner. Bringing the Diner back to Palm Beach enables the crew to work more quickly, due to the fact that its predecessor was half an hour away in Collaroy.

The Barrenjoey Boathouse has been seen on screen right from the very beginning of the show and has been the location of many memorable scenes over the years, the most famous of which probably being when Angel left Shane only for her seaplane to later crash in the bush.

It stands on Station Beach, on the Pittwater side of the Palm Beach peninsula, next to Palm Beach Golf Course. Also notable is the fact that Ailsa's store used to stand nearby, though it has since been demolished.

The building is home to Carmel's By The Sea, Palm Beach's very own diner which serves a nice variety of food throughout the day, from Egg & Bacon Rolls to Spinach & Ricotta Patties - they also serve up a mean milkshake. It is Carmel's that is going to double up as Alf's new diner, however since the lease for the business is due for renewal in mid 2008, the show has only signed up for a 6 month contract, so we'll have to wait and see whether this move is permanent.

The building is also home to 2 other businesses, one of which is Sydney by Seaplane, where you can enjoy stunning scenic flights over the Northern Beaches, Sydney and various other places in the area. This is certainly a worthwhile venture and the best way to view Palm Beach - though viewers should not be put off by the fact that no less than 3 seaplanes that have taken off from there in the show have never returned!

The other business located in the building is Barrenjoey Boat Hire, where you can hire boats of varying sizes to take a trip out onto Pittwater at your own leisure, the only way to see some of the secluded beaches that have been used on the show in recent years. In July 2008, the Boat Hire office became the location of Alf's new Bait Shop.
