Palm Cove is recognized as one of Cairns prettiest beaches and has been voted as one of Australia's friendliest and cleanest beaches a few years in a row.

Most of the Palm Cove accommodation is on the beach front esplanade which is lined by swaying palms on the foreground, and the back ground is filled with giant ancient Melaleuca trees that have been preserved over the years with the boardwalks and buildings built around them to ensure they stay for a few more hundred years.

These ancient trees continue to attract holiday visitors with their mystical ambience and continue to add to the ultimate tropical holiday serenity that is the signature of Palm Cove in Queensland Australia.

There is visual beauty everywhere you look and just off shore from the Palm Cove beach lays Double Island and Scout Hat Island and to the right you can even see Fitzroy Island and other southern islands and mountains that make up the Cairns foreshore on the Great Barrier Reef.

Visitors to Palm Cove can free themselves of the hustle and bustle of city life and soak in the warm beach sun while enjoying spectacular scenery all around.

Take a stroll along the beach or the cobble stone streets finged by coconut palms and select from the many beachfront restaurants on offer, most of which have received great reviews.
