Here are a few suggestions and interesting things you can do whilst visiting Palm Cove Australia.

Beach Dining

Palm Cove boasts some of the finest Restaurants in all of Tropical North Queensland and regularly has visiting journalists from around the world doing write-ups and rave reviews about the high standards and quality of both the chefs and the varieties of foods that are used and sourced locally from the Tablelands and the ocean. The restaurants and resorts have guest chefs from around Australia and sometimes now and again other parts of the world come to teach people how to cook up dinner parties and hold food and wine appreciation lunches and dinners which both the locals and holidaymakers are invited to join in.

Beach Activities

The standout beauty of our beaches in Tropical North Queensland is that the rainforest meets the reef — literally. You have beautiful shady trees with birds and butterflies right there on the beach with you. No need for an umbrella; just choose a tree. There are even some beaches that have lagoons and rivers on them as well but we strongly recommend you only swim in the sea as these rivers, lagoons and billabongs are homes to the prehistoric crocodile. Look out for the crocodile warning signs before entering all waterways. Achtung!

Cruises, Tours & Attractions

All the tour companies pick guests up and return you to your Palm Cove Accommodation or guest house so you have no need to worry about how to get to any departure locations as you will be personally driven there in plenty of time and comfort and also learn a lot on the way.
