Renowned traveller magazine Conde Nast has awarded Palm Cove one of the greatest accolades as world’s best beach in 2024. Conde Nast cited the spot’s palm trees, powdery sand and views of dolphins and whales from the jetty as reasons behind giving the top award. Mona Vale, Noosa and Byron Bay, all prestigious beaches along Australia’s east coast, also made the Top 10. Palm Cove beat popular spots in Hawaii, Indonesia and France to receive the top gong.
