Palm trees hem the township’s front beach, leaning towards the coastal waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Hit the water and explore offshore islands and reef system on a kayak trip or dive cruise. When it’s time to dine, take a walk along the town’s esplanade. The warm night air holds the scent of the melaleuca trees that line the street. Breathe it in – Palm Cove is one to remember.

This waterfront community doesn't get cooler than 16º or hotter than 30º. May through October is cooler and dry, and November through April bring warm afternoon showers.
