Palm Cove Beach

Palm Cove Beach's tranquil beauty and family-friendly amenities make it an ideal destination for a relaxing getaway.

Located around 30 minutes north of Cairns, Palm Cove is actually a tiny beachside village based around an esplanade lined with beautiful 500-year-old melaleuca trees. It's here you can walk around barefoot, grab a bike and buy fresh seafood for that sunset BBQ on Palm Cove Beach!

There are plenty of water sport options too with a chance to hire a kayak or take a tour to nearby Double Island.

Don't miss a chane to head to Palm Cove jetty which makes a great fishing spot for Spanish mackerel, cod, whiting, stripeys and flathead!

The beach's calm waters and soft sands provide a welcoming environment for kids to swim and build sandcastles.

Families can explore the Great Barrier Reef on guided tours, offering snorkeling and underwater adventures suitable for all ages. The esplanade offers shaded playgrounds, BBQ facilities, and picnic areas, creating a perfect setting for family gatherings.
