Why it's worth checking out
The Palm Cove Jetty stretches out from Williams Esplanade at Palm Cove, the upmarket, palm-fringed beachfront village north of Cairns. A scenic and much-loved local landmark, the historic jetty is a popular spot for a stroll, fishing, swimming off the end or simply taking in the views over the Coral Sea — a classic part of the relaxed Palm Cove experience.
The appeal is that combination of a lovely seaside setting and an easy, accessible outing: the walk along the jetty, the ocean and beach views, the chance to fish or spot marine life, and the relaxed atmosphere of one of Tropical North Queensland's prettiest beach villages. It's a peaceful, scenic spot that's free to enjoy.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 2,300 reviews, it's a much-loved destination. The jetty is free and open, but it's exposed to the weather and tropical conditions apply — including marine stingers in the warmer months — so it's worth checking conditions before you go, and taking sun protection while enjoying the views from this lovely Palm Cove landmark.
