slow-cooked lamb shoulder and garlic, and rosemary rolled pork belly roast might even

Palm Cove
More intimate than Port Douglas and more upmarket than its southern neighbours, Palm
Cove is essentially one big promenade along the paperbark-lined Williams Esplanade,
with a gorgeous stretch of white-sand beach and top-notch restaurants luring sunlovers out
of their luxury resorts.
Activities
Beach strolls, shopping and leisurely swims will be your chief activities here, but there's
no excuse for not getting out on the water.
