Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
The Palm Tree Tunnel sits on Williams Esplanade in Palm Cove, one of tropical Far North Queensland's most beautiful beachside destinations near Cairns. A strong 4.7 rating from 41 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is a gorgeous, iconic tropical scene — the celebrated avenue of towering paperbark and palm trees along the Palm Cove esplanade, a genuine favourite for a lovely stroll, a photo and soaking up one of the tropical north's most picturesque spots. It's a lovely, free outing.
Outdoor spots have changing conditions and seasonal considerations, so check current details before you go. Otherwise it's a free, family-friendly spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your camera, and pair it with a stroll along the lovely Palm Cove beachfront.
