Though the location of the fictional Stewarts Point has always been a bit inconsistent over the years, its a safe bet to say that this is place which people think of first when they hear the name.

West Head Lookout was indeed named as being Stewarts Point when Shane Parrish collapsed and died on a rock here (pictured) in 1996, for which the location is probably most memorable amongst 'Home and Away' fans. It has been used several times over the years, from dramatic storylines such as Drew Curtis' kidnapping and Josie & Jesse's non-wedding, to poignant events such as Charlotte Adams' memorial in 2002 and the 2008 Anzac Day service.

The lookout provides stunning views over the Palm Beach peninsula, Pittwater, Lion Island and the entrance of Broken Bay. It lies at the north-eastern tip of the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, at the very end of West Head Road.

Despite being only 1 mile (1.6km) from Palm Beach as the crow flies, the distance to drive from there is considerably longer at around 22 miles (35km), around Pittwater.

New look!

We're in the process of creating a brand new look Back to the Bay to freshen things up, clear out the clutter and add some features as we go. Apologies for how long it's taking and how much of the site is looking rather peculiar as a result, but rest assured we're making progress and the new look will be complete within the next few weeks.
