When driving in the city centre and other built-up areas, the speed limit is 50 km/h, unless you're close to where children might be, like a school, where it often drops to 30 or 40 km/h. If you're on the rural roads outside of built-up areas, the speed limit will be between 80 km/h and 100 km/h, depending on what the signs say. If there are no signs, the speed limit outside built-up areas is usually 100 km/h.

There are free parking options in Palm Cove, but they often fill up quickly, especially over weekends. One of the free parking areas available is close to the jetty, near the caravan park. Outside of these free spaces, Palm Cove has various council off-street car parks that offer short-term and all-day parking at a per-hour rate. There is car parking available along the full length of the beach, as well as in a car park by the beach's northern end. The cost for these spaces varies.
