Cairns Beaches & Palm Cove

The Cairns Beaches stretch for 26kms along a sunny coastline which begins just at the northern fringe of Cairns city. Miles of sand yields to sweeping backdrops of rainforest mountains, inviting you to swim, sail, windsurf or just relax under a palm tree.  The Cairns Beaches are Machans, Holloways, Yorkey’s Knob, Trinity, Kewarra, Clifton, Palm Cove and Ellis Beaches. Each is a small, separate township with its own distinctive character with plenty of space for those seeking solitude while still offering access to reef and rainforest tours and nearby wildlife attractions.

Together, these beachside towns provide much of Cairns’ holiday accommodation - choose from resorts, hotels, motels, holiday apartments and caravan parks. Watersports gear can be hired right on the beach, and stinger resistant swimming enclosures afford protection during the summer months at most beach locations.

Today, both Trinity Beach and Palm Cove have grown to become sought after resort destinations, where visitors can relax in four and five star comfort. Palm Cove is a sophisticated village, which is gained the moniker of ‘Australia’s Spa Capital’ due to its award-winning array of exclusive spa resorts offering the latest in spa and pampering services.
