At Wheelaway, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore and enjoy meaningful experiences. This week, we had the pleasure of providing a wheelchair accessible day trip Sydney for a very special client.

Our wonderful driver Anne took a client and her friend to Palm Beach—a destination that had been on her bucket list for years.

Why? Because it’s the real-life filming location of Home and Away, known to fans as Summer Bay.

For our client, this wasn’t just a trip—it was a dream come true.

Why Palm Beach is Perfect for Wheelchair Accessible Day Trips Sydney

Located on Sydney’s stunning Northern Beaches, Palm Beach is one of the most popular destinations for wheelchair accessible day trips Sydney visitors and locals can enjoy.

It offers:

Beautiful coastal scenery with open, accessible areas
Relaxed surroundings perfect for a day out
Iconic filming locations from Home and Away
Cafés and facilities nearby

The area provides a great balance of accessibility and experience, making it ideal for NDIS participants, families, and support workers planning a safe and enjoyable outing.

Exploring the Famous Home and Away Locations

One of the highlights of this wheelchair accessible day trip Sydney was visiting the well-known filming spots from Home and Away.

☕ The Boathouse Palm Beach

This iconic waterfront café has been featured in the show as the diner and bait shop.

It’s a must-visit stop where you can:

Enjoy a coffee or meal
Take photos in a recognisable TV location
Relax with stunning water views

Wheelchair accessbility:

The lower jetty deck and inside the restaurant is wheelchair friendly. Normal door entrance to the accessible bathroom, but lots of space inside the accessible bathroom. There is accessible parking.

Picnic tables out the front has a lot of space, whilst tables are a bit tighter together inside the restaurant.

Palm Beach Surf Life Saving Club

Another familiar filming location, this spot is perfect for soaking in the atmosphere of Summer Bay and capturing memorable photos.

🎁 Local Souvenir Experience

Visitors can also explore a small, community-run souvenir shop offering:

Home and Away memorabilia
Unique gifts
A chance to support local volunteers

A Meaningful Experience for Our Client

What made this wheelchair accessible day trip Sydney truly special was the impact it had.

After the trip, our client reached out to thank us and share how much she enjoyed the experience. Being able to visit a place she had always dreamed of seeing meant so much to her.

These are the moments that remind us why accessible transport is so important—it opens doors to experiences that might otherwise feel out of reach.

‘Hi Karina, Thanks for organising the driver support from Anne today so my sister could go to Palm Beach and tick off one of her bucket list items! She had an amazing time.”
