Palm Beach
- Family friendly
- Surf spot
Palm Beach is a broad sandy ocean beach on the southern Gold Coast, with a mapped shoreline of about 1.4 kilometres. Its open beach is well established for coastal walks and surfing, while calmer corners around the adjoining waterways offer a different swimming setting. Family-friendly swimming spots are available, but waves, rip currents and tides can vary along the exposed shore. Nearby cafés and local services add to Palm Beach’s relaxed, popular coastal character.
