Why it's worth checking out
Palm Cove Beach - South sits on Williams Esplanade in Palm Cove, one of the most beautiful of the northern beaches near Cairns in Tropical North Queensland. With 7 reviews behind its 4.1 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a beautiful, palm-fringed slice of the tropical coast — the southern end of the lovely Palm Cove beach, a genuine favourite for a swim, a walk, a relaxed day or simply soaking up the gorgeous setting along the celebrated Esplanade. It's a lovely, free outing.
Beaches in the tropical north have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations — including marine stingers in the warmer months — so check current details and any safety advice before you go. Bring sun protection, water and follow local swimming advice.
