Talk about the view from the top! We love this brilliant perspective looking out over the township of Great Palm Island - Bwgcolman 😍

Beautiful Alma Bay! Arguably one of the most popular beaches on 😍

Alma Bay is the perfect spot for families with a playground, public BBQ, picnic tables, toilet facilities and a fully stocked freezer of ice creams across the road at the Arcadia Newsagent. Not to mention you are always under the watchful eye of the Arcadian Surf Life Saving volunteers!

The beach is well maintained, with rocky headlands to explore and crystal clear waters to snorkel or just enjoy a relaxing dip. A perfect place to visit these school holidays.
