Geography

The locality of Coral Cove is bounded to the east by the Coral Sea and to the north-west by Palmer Creek which enters the Coral Sea at 24°52′16″S 152°28′59″E / 24.871°S 152.483°E / -24.871; 152.483 (Palmer Creek (mouth)).^[3]^[4]

The land use is predominantly residential interspersed with sections of the Coral Cove Golf Course. The Coral Cove Environment Reserve is in the north-east of the locality near the creek mouth. The western remnant of the locality is currently undeveloped.^[4]

The coastline of the locality is part of the Woongarra Coast section of the Great Sandy Marine Park. The Woongarra Coast has a rocky coastline which extends into the ocean with rocky outcrops that encourage the development of coral reefs. The coral reefs around Barolin Rock are some of the most significant examples of these southernmost coral reefs.^[6]

During the 2013 Cyclone Oswald, parts of the town were damaged by excessive flooding and wind damage. No casualties were reported, civilian volunteers assisted with the clean up.
