Esplanade Cairns (Cairns, Australia)

Enjoy an Active Holiday by the Cairns Esplanade

Referred simply to as “the Esplanade”, the Cairns Esplanade makes up the heart of Cairns city. Stretching across the stunning 2.5-kilometre coastline of the Coral Sea, it is one of the go-to holiday spot in Australia.

Of the many things to do in Cairns, sporty activities tend to reign. You’ll see plenty of people jogging, cycling, skateboarding and swimming in the area. If you enjoy an active lifestyle, the Esplanade will be your ideal vacation destination.

Overall, Cairns weather is warm and tropical. Summers tend to be hot and humid, while winters seem more mild. Although the weather is never too severe, if you want to avoid the rain, the best time to visit is between June and October.

One of the highlights of the area are the year-round warm surface sea temperatures, ranging on average from about 24 to 30 degrees Celsius.

So Many Ways to Savour the Cairns Esplanade

If your goal is to unwind, there is no better place to go than the Lagoon. Protected by a barrier from the sea, this is one of the safest places to swim. Here, you won’t have to worry about crocodiles or jellyfish, but still be able to enjoy the warm salt water of the Coral Sea.

The Cairns Esplanade is more than just a beach. There are plenty of shops and cafes to enjoy as well. Even if you’re in town for a short bit, you should definitely take a walk around the bay and admire displays of the local artwork. On the weekends, you’re sure to run into live music and entertainment throughout the Esplanade.

Those looking to engage in physical activity can take advantage of the public exercise equipment, which can be found all along the Cairns Esplanade. Among it all, you will find a massive skatepark, beach volleyball courts, tennis courts, and more. There are also multiple playgrounds for the kids.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to just relax, plan a picnic in one of the many parks and open spaces. Instead of dining out, many visitors opt to cook their own BBQ by the waterfront. Grills are plentiful along the Esplanade and are regularly cleaned and maintained by the city.
