[2024 Cairns Attraction] Travel Guide for Palm Cove (Updated Dec)

Palm Cove | Paradise

If you haven’t visited Palm Cove then do so!!! Such a stunning and picturesque destination full of palm trees overhanging the amazing beach. An extremely romantic destination but also great for families. The esplanade stretches the entire length of Palm Cove, a short distance away from the main road which joins Cairns and Port Douglas. All along the esplanade are stunning hotels, fabulous restaurants all overlooking the beach with ocean views. Getting there - Buses (public and private charter), Uber etc., all go to Palm Cove from Cairns where the International Airport is located, about a 30 minute drive away. Once in Palm Cove you can walk everywhere, although you can hire cars and scooters for travelling further afield. There are also many tours you can book. Tours - Port Douglas is about a 40 minute drive north of Palm Cove. Considerably larger in size with a marina and a Main Street with shopping. Rainforests due to the tropical climate are everywhere and a trip to them are a must. Hartleys Crocodile Park is a great day out getting up close to crocs and is a short drive from Palm Cove. Restaurants - All cuisines catered for with amazing views of the ocean only a few metres from the beach. All budgets catered for also with probably one of the best surf clubs situated right across from the beach, cheap cold beers, great food and entertainment for the kids. Hotels - Book before you travel, especially at the moment during the pandemic when everyone is holidaying within Australia. All different budgets for the whole family. One of my favourites being the Pullman and the Reef House. All have swimming pools as unfortunately you can’t swim in the sea due to the local crocodiles and jelly fish! Although there is a netted area where you can have a swim in the sea if you so wish. I was lucky enough to live in Palm Cove for a short time, a truly stunning place to call home and used to pinch myself daily when sat having a coffee down on the esplanade 🌴 #wintergetaway#unforgettableexperiences#couplestrip#café#seasidephotoguide#beautifulhotel#naturalwonders

The charm of Palm Cove: Enjoying quiet moments and beautiful seas.

It took about 40 minutes by bus from Cairns Central to visit Palm Cove! Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't swim, but the beauty of the beach still amazed us. The color of the sea was truly beautiful, giving off a perfect resort vibe. It's a bit away from the city, making it ideal for a quiet and relaxing time. There were also many cute shops and restaurants, filled with items that made you want to buy them just by looking. Especially in the shops, there were many wonderful handmade items that made you want to buy a lot. There are also many hotels, so finding accommodation is not a problem.

The Best Aerial Tour in Cairns: Great Barrier Reef Helicopter Adventure!

Enjoying the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns is best done from the air. This 40-minute aerial sightseeing flight by GSL Cairns departs from Cairns Airport, usually scheduled in the morning. After an early morning pickup from the hotel, head to GSL's departure and landing airport in Cairns. The style is completely different from the Whitsunday Islands' reefs, with unique Green Island and eye-catching sand islands. Even on cloudy days, you can see various blues of the Great Barrier Reef! 💥Highlights of the trip: 1. A 40-minute flight, taking in the tropical rainforest of Cairns, Green Island, Vlasoff Sand Cay, Upolu Cay, and Arlington Reef. On the return journey, fly along the east coast past Palm Cove back to Cairns. 2. During the flight, the pilot will continuously circle and descend, ensuring everyone gets the best viewing angles! The experience of several dozen minutes passed quickly, and it was quite enjoyable! Thanks to the captains for showing us the beauty of this magical natural wonder. Afterwards, you can take photos with the crew and the aircraft. 🎯Nearby Attractions: Apart from the aerial tour, the sights within Cairns are also worth savoring: unique museum exhibitions, the Cairns beach in the early morning, and the tree-lined avenue leading to the pier. 📌Booking: Various platforms 🙋Recommended Tour Duration: 1 day
