With endless white sand beaches and glorious coconut palms, the warm ocean water makes Palm Cove one of the most beautiful beaches in the World. Situated only 30 minutes from Cairns airport, Palm Cove has recently risen to become the number one spot in Australia to have your wedding or honeymoon…here are six things to love…

1. Romantic Getaway. When booking your honeymoon in Palm Cove you want to look for accommodation that you and your new hubby can nestle away in private.

4. Morning Bliss. Hire a car one day and drive into Cairns and book a dawn hot air ballon ride. For a truly memorable experience, try a balloon flight at dawn over the Atherton Tablelands.
