Far North Queensland is a destination within itself, and Palm Cove is the perfect outpost to base yourself to explore all that it has to offer. An easy 25-minute drive from Cairns City, Palm Cove is one of the most loved resort beach towns, it's bounded by the lush tropics of Macalister Range National Park, and its palm-fringed esplanade and patrolled swimming beach graces many a postcard. Combine this with boutique shopping and world-class dining, and you have one destination you will be in no rush to leave.

The best places to explore from Palm Cove:

One of Australia's biggest drawcards, the Great Barrier Reef traverses a whopping 2,300 kilometres and can be seen from outer space. The colourful marine life and reef system can be explored either by boat or up in the air, but our advice is to gear up and dive in with one of the many operators in and around Palm Cove.

There is no better way to explore this region than by water. Join a tour or go-it-alone, it is a water wonderland that is just begging to be explored. There is a tonne of options to choose from, but local operators, Palm Cove Water Sports, have several tours to pick from, such as their kayaking and turtle tours, sunrise tour, and kayaking and snorkel tours. You can also hire a kayak (singles or doubles) or paddleboards.

Two-hours north of Palm Cove is the Daintree Rainforest, and it makes for an incredible day-trip. There is so much to do, from Saltwater Crocodiles spotting along Daintree River to hiking the tropical lowland rainforest. Daintree also has Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in abundance and Cape Tribulation is where the rainforest meets the reef. A picture-perfect sight that you will never want to pull yourself away from. Jump on a tour and soak up natures finest.

Ideal for families needing space

Beautiful property, in the perfect location. The beach, shops and restaurants are all just a short walk away along the boardwalk. The property is very well equipped with everything needed to self cater should you wish to do so. The pool is a perfect addition and the outdoor eating area is beautiful. The property itself was really lovely, very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed a perfect stay from start to finish. Would definitely return.

Great house and location

We loved the property, had a Little hiccup on arrival as house had not been cleaned correctly but Northern Exposure went above and beyond to ensure this was attended to immediately and we were so happy with their attention to us. We would definitely stay again. Kitchen is very well equipped and the outside entertaining area is just lovely. Location is excellent and only a short beautiful walk to the beach and town.
