The Esplanade
No matter when you visit the Esplanade, you will never be alone. This is Cairns most popular destination, where people come together to experience the thrill and energy of the city itself. With its fig trees swaying in the breeze along the water’s edge, boats sailing on the crystalline waters and bobbing up and down in the harbour, this is Cairns at its very best. It’s beautiful residential buildings, shops, cafes and stores create a wonderfully friendly and relaxing atmosphere. For nature lovers, the three kilometre footpath allows you to soak up the quintessential beauty Australia is known for. Pelicans soaking up the sun and many other species of birds fluttering along the shore create the perfect scene for family photos and the five swimming lagoons are extremely popular during weekends.
