Palm Beach is a suburb on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, between Tallebudgera Creek and Currumbin Creek. Palm Beach is an area with little in the way of natural features to enclose it or to set it apart from other places on the Gold Coast, though it has twice been voted cleanest beach in Queensland.
Recent extensions of the Palm Beach area to the west have created new subdivisions with different characteristics including a small section of canal development. The area is bounded to the north by the Tallebudgera Creek and the national recreation camp and to the south by tower developments at the mouth of Currumbin Creek.
The creek mouths of Tallebudgera and Currumbin have been stabilised with training walls built during the 1970s. Both of the Creek entrances are dredged on an annual basis. There are nearshore bait reefs along Palm Beach and offshore there are fishing reefs that are some of the most productive of the Gold Coast.Laguna Lake is in the south western part of the suburb has a park around its edges.
The Tallebudgera Creek Tourist Park provides holiday accommodation mainly for families. The adjacent Tallebudgera Recreational Camp is a national fitness camp visited by children from throughout Queensland. The Neptune's Surf Life Saving Club was the first female only SLSC in Australia and still provides patrol services for people swimming in Tallebudgera Creek estuary.
