Why it's worth checking out
Double Island sits off the coast near Ellis Beach and Palm Cove, among the lovely northern beaches near Cairns in Tropical North Queensland. With 10 reviews behind its 4.5 rating, it's a much-loved landmark.
The appeal is a beautiful island backdrop to a gorgeous stretch of coast — Double Island, a scenic offshore landmark off the Palm Cove and Ellis Beach area, a genuine favourite for taking in the view, a photo or simply soaking up the tropical setting from the beach. It's a lovely, free sight.
