Palm Cove Beach is noted for its long stretch of white sand lined by tall palm trees.

Make sure to stop by the Palm Cove jetty, one of the region's most popular fishing spots, where anglers regularly catch species such as mackerel, giant trevally, and shark.

Beautiful beach and views but even out of season expect rude and unsmiling people on your walk along the esplanade. Been there multiple times now and it is overcrowded and extremely unhappy people...

Just beautiful. Great destination for the day or a week or two. Excellent selection of hotels to suit all budgets. From the pier at one end to melding into Clifton Beach at the other a delightful pathway connects them. Adorned with speciality shops and eateries the entire length sets the scene for a wonderful experience during your visit.

It's a nice place for holiday. Accommodations were just a few steps across the street. Lot of trees on the street side that gives shade from scorching sun. Cool breeze from the shore. We're unlucky though when we were there as swimming spot with net were breached by stingers! We end up shooting photos and videos of the stunning beauty of the beach line.
