Palm Cove and Northern Beaches Transfer Information
Travelling just 25 minutes north of Cairns along the spectacular Captain Cook Highway, the "Great Barrier Reef Drive", you’ll discover Tropical Far North Queensland’s premier coastal treasure, Palm Cove. This intimate, upscale beachside village seamlessly combines barefoot elegance with sophisticated luxury, immediately setting a tone of deep relaxation.
The village is anchored by a postcard-perfect foreshore, where 500-year-old paperbark melaleuca trees and hundreds of leaning coconut palms shade a golden sandy beach that looks out over the azure Coral Sea and Double Island.
