Palm Beach is a suburb on the Gold Coast in
Queensland, Australia, between Tallebudgera
Creek and Currumbin Creek. At the 2006
Census, Palm Beach had a population of 13,494.

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 thrice been voted cleanest beach in
Queensland.
Certainly subdivided by the mid-1950s the
subdivision is unusual in the way in which it
straddles both sides of the highway. Streets
along the highway are named from first to
twenty-eighth starting at the southern end of
the area and each second one terminates at
the highway. Between the beach and the
highway in the southern part of the area the
narrow Jefferson Lane links across streets. In
this lane are some of the earliest and most
basic of Gold Coast beach "shacks", some on
blocks of land valued in millions of dollars.
There is some suggestion that these in fact
predate the subdivision and other remnants of
an earlier settlement.

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.
