With a glistening turquoise ocean, oodles of palm trees and golden sand, it should come as no surprise that there are an abundance of photo spots in Palm Cove.
With so much beauty, how do you get that shot that stops all the scrollers on the ‘gram?
From the insta-famous, to the more quirky, I round up the best photo spots in Palm Cove.
Palm Tree Walkway
Nothing screams “tropical paradise” like a row of palm trees stretching onto the beach. Palm Cove has a beautiful palm tree boardwalk that will make the perfect backdrop for every holiday snap.
Head to the Southernmost end of Williams Esplanade to reach this dreamy spot.
Lower Level of Jetty
Ocean blues are the best kind of blues and this spot has them in abundance!
Head along the Palm Cove Jetty and head down to the lower level at the end. The stretches of water and palm-fringed beach set against a mountainous backdrop isn’t to be missed.
The Perfect Palm Tree
Ok, so technically this spot is in Clifton Beach, not Palm Cove. However, it is so stunning that I couldn’t resist including it in the list!
At the Southern end of Clifton Beach, which is just south of Palm Cove, there’s few bendy palm trees that give the illusion that you are walking along the palm tree and out to sea!
Best of all, Clifton Beach and Palm Cove are connected, so you can reach these ridiculously photogenic trees by simply walking along the beach!
Views of Double Island
Island views are always set to make photos a little bit special! Double Island is just a stone’s throw away from Palm Cove and makes a pretty backdrop for your beach shots.
The best view of this island is at Palm Cove’s most Northern end, just left of the jetty.
Water Sports Shack
There’s something about colourful beach shacks that is just so retro and adorable!
Palm Cove’s watersports shack is bright turquoise, which ensures it has those lush tropical vibes covered.
I recommend taking your photo on an angle that shows the sea and beach peeping through.
Shopping Village
If you’re looking for Palm Cove photo spots that are less beachy and more unique, pop to the staircase at Palm Cove shopping village.
Laid back, colourful signs and a backdrop of crisp, white buildings and trees make this spot a lesser known secret.
Palm Cove Beach
I couldn’t round up the best photo spots in Palm Cove without mentioning the coastal village’s ultimate gem: the beach itself!
Whether you aim for front-on beach shot with a blue sea backdrop, or a photo sweeping the palm fringed coastline, this award-winning beach is sure to make the perfect backdrop.
Ready to visit Palm Cove and visit these photo spots yourself? The Sebel Palm Cove Coral Coast has stunning contemporary accommodation and is just a stone’s throw away from the beach.
