When the hustle and bustle of city life gets a little too chaotic, there’s nothing like escaping to the beach – and apparently, the world’s second most relaxing beach is right here in Palm Cove. While you’re in town, go for leisurely barefoot strolls under swaying coconut palms, float in the warm crystal-clear waters, and unwind with a cocktail at one of the many stylish beachfront restaurants.
For extra relaxation: Stay at Palm Cove’s exclusive Reef House Adults Retreat, which was crowned Australia’s best luxury five-star hotel in 2025. The best part? No crying kids in sight.
