| The tropical paradise where the mysterious rainforest meets the grandeur of the Great Barrier Reef - sandy beaches lined with glorious coconut palms and Melaleuca's with the year round warm ocean make Palm Cove one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Add the relaxing atmosphere and tropical sunshine and you've got the perfect holiday destination!
Once called Palm Beach, it was a popular weekend destination for Cairns and the Atherton Tableland's (now called Cairns Highlands) where people brought the whole family for their weekend break and picnic.
In the 80's developers saw its potential and created a ‘master plan' which has been fulfilled. International Hotels followed and Palm Cove became the premier beach location it is today; the ultimate vacation destination; just 30 minutes from the Cairns International Airport. In the last years Palm Cove rose to the number one wedding destination in Australia.
The wildlife is abundant with lizards, tree frogs, butterflies and large numbers of native birds; rainbow lorikeets, cheeky kookaburras, cockatoos, doves, sunbirds, finches and more; happily making Palm Cove their preferred home.
Treat yourself to a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and experience the fabulous underwater world of tropical sea life and colourful corals where the snorkelling is out of this world. Scuba diving trips are plentiful. Whether you are a certified diver or wish to do a course, there is something to suit you. |
