Station Beach (BB 21, also known as Barrenjoey Beach) extends between the northern side of Observation Point and the prominent 104 m high Barrenjoey Head. The 1.5 km long beach lies on the western ‘backside’ of North Palm Beach and like its eastern counterpart links Barrenjoey Head to the Palm Beach mainland. The beach faces west, except at the northern end where it curves round to face south under Barrenjoey. This usually calm beach is the most popular of the eastern shore beaches, with sailboarders and sailers heading to the northern car park to launch their crafts. The back of the beach also houses the Palm Beach Golf Course, while next to the car park is also a marina that services the seaplanes that fly out of Pittwater, and a boat ramp (Fig. 4.190). It is also only a 200 m walk across the grassy reserve to the ocean beach. The beach itself consists of a 10 m wide moderately sloping high tide beach, with more gently sloping, seagrass covered intertidal sand flats extending up to 50 m offshore beach. read more
