Pacific Palms, 282 km north of Sydney, is the general place name given to a strip of the mid-north coast from
Tarbuck Bay in the south to Tiona Park in the north.
The main access road which bisects the area is The Lakes Way which departs the Pacific Highway just north of Bulahdelah and runs east out to the coast following it north to rejoin the highway north of Forster. This is a holiday area of small settlements which are primarily designed for holiday makers and people who have chosen to retire in the area. Not surprisingly there is a feeling of relaxation and transience. Local Beaches The local area in Pacific Palms is home to 3 magnificent beaches; Boomerang Beach, Bluey's Beach and Elizabeth Beach. This beautiful area also offers great fishing, bushwalks, and boating on the lake, as well as a local sports ground, and shops including a newsagent, takeaway shops, a surf shop and a bottleshop.
Fishing Fishing is obviously a popular pastime and beach anglers will usually be rewarded with tailor, bream, whiting and mulloway. The headlands and rocks are good for drummer, blackfish, bream and tailor, the lakes for bream, whiting and flathead and Charlotte Head is generally considered the best spot for land-based game anglers after tuna and kingfish. Boomerang Beach's northern end is Charlotte Head, a massive rocky headland which rises up above the ocean. This is also the southern tip of Booti Booti National Park, a popular coastal reserve of scenic lookouts, surf beaches, rainforest walks, thick scrub, beach and rock fishing, sailing, windsurfing, boat-fishing, prawning, skindiving, camping, picnicking and an abundance of wildlife (mostly nocturnal). Tiona Park is technically the northernmost point of Pacific Palms. There you will find, on the western side of the road, a caravan park and the Green Cathedral, an al fresco temple, consecrated by the Saints Church. It has rough timber pews and a wooden lectern situated under a rainforest canopy on the shores of Wallis Lake and is much used for outdoor weddings.
