Palm Cove Australia

Palm Cove is a suburb of Cairns in the Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2016 census, Palm Cove had a population of 2,059 people. It is named after the palm trees that line the beach. Palm Cove is located in Far North Queensland on the Australian coast. It has a long sandy beach along most of its seafront except for the rocky headland around Buchan Point in the north of the suburb. Palm Cove is situated in the Djabugay (Tjapukai) traditional Aboriginal country. Due to the small size of Palm Cove and its tourism focus, the focus is on the provision of tourist services rather than household needs. There are two general stores and many restaurants. The nearest shopping centre is at Clifton Beach. Palm Cove is also a tourist destination due to its proximity to the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. Palm Cove is the location of many resorts and apartments. The pristine beaches and palm tree lined paths are used by joggers, walkers and cyclists and netted life guard patrol swimming enclosures offer safe access to the sea all year round.
