The Cairns Esplanade Lagoon is a must-visit spot for anyone in Cairns. This 4,800-square-metre saltwater pool offers a safe, stinger and crocodile free swimming experience right on the waterfront. The lagoon features sandy beach areas, shallow entry points, and deeper sections up to 1.5 metres, making it ideal for cooling off. There are public BBQ areas, shaded lawns, and picnic spots, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with friends or family!
open daily from 6am to 9pm.
