Why it's worth checking out
The NRMA Palm Cove Holiday Park sits on Williams Esplanade at Palm Cove, one of the loveliest beachside spots in Cairns's northern beaches, right by the beach. A much-loved holiday park, it offers relaxed, good-value accommodation — from cabins to powered sites — in a gorgeous beachfront location, the kind of easygoing, family-friendly tropical holiday base with the sand and palm-fringed esplanade right there.
The appeal is that combination of comfortable, good-value cabin and park accommodation and a beautiful absolute-beachfront Palm Cove location, ideal for a family holiday, a caravan or camping trip or a relaxed tropical getaway, with the beach, the esplanade and the relaxed Palm Cove village all close by. Its blend of value, comfort and a stunning beachfront setting makes it a popular choice.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 450 reviews, it's clearly delivering for its guests. Cabin and site types, rates, facilities and availability vary with the season and demand, and a popular beachfront park books out over holidays and peak periods, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly well ahead — particularly if you're travelling at a busy time or want a specific cabin or site for your stay at Palm Cove.
