Palm Beach Reef is a beginner-friendly shore dive on Queensland's Gold Coast. This accessible reef runs parallel to the beach and offers easy entry through the surf zone. The rocky reef formations are home to wobbegong sharks, moray eels, octopus, nudibranchs, and a variety of tropical and subtropical fish species. With depths averaging 6-10 meters, it's a great spot for new divers and a popular night dive location where nocturnal creatures emerge from the reef.
