Something for everyone
We’ve selected a range of accommodation options to suit most budgets, ensuring you have a comfortable stay. Of course, you’re more than welcome to arrange your own accommodation if you prefer, but these are our recommendations to make things easier for you.
The Weather
Palm Cove
September—Dry Season
In late September, Palm Cove enjoys warm, pleasant weather, making it an ideal time to visit. You can expect daytime temperatures ranging from 24°C to 29°C with mild evenings.
It's the dry season, so you’ll likely experience plenty of sunshine and low humidity—perfect for our outdoor celebrations! We recommend packing light, breathable clothing, along with your swimwear and sunscreen to make the most of the tropical climate.
The Great Barrier Reef
Just a short boat ride away, this world-famous reef is a must-see for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. Explore the vibrant marine life and stunning coral formations that make the Great Barrier Reef one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
Port Douglas
Located about 45 minutes north of Palm Cove, Port Douglas is another beautiful beachside town and the gateway to the northern parts of the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest.
Barron Falls
A short drive inland will take you to Kuranda, a village in the rainforest. Here, you can visit Barron Falls, an impressive waterfall that’s particularly stunning during the wet season.
Crocodiles and Jellyfish
Crocodiles may be seen in nearby rivers, but Palm Cove's beaches are safe if you follow local advice. Marine stingers appear from November to May, but in September, it's safe to swim and enjoy the ocean.
The Location
Palm Cove is a unique coastal destination offering beautiful beaches, a relaxed ambiance, and easy access to some of Australia’s most stunning sights. Nestled between the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, it’s a perfect base for exploring both the vibrant coral reefs and lush rainforests.
Just offshore, Double Island offers scenic views from the beach and is ideal for early-morning kayak tours. Inland, the picturesque village of Kuranda and Barron Falls add even more charm to this tropical escape. Enjoy the beauty, adventure, and relaxation that make Palm Cove unforgettable.
