Cairns Esplanade Lagoon

"The highlight of the Esplanade is the Cairns Esplanade Lagoon – a large, saltwater swimming pool overlooking Trinity Inlet. This artificial lagoon provides a safe and refreshing place to swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the tropical surroundings. It's a fantastic spot to witness breathtaking sunsets over the Coral Sea. Many visitors gather in the evening to capture the changing colors of the sky as the sun dips below the horizon. Whether you're seeking relaxation, recreation, or a taste of Cairns' vibrant culture, the Cairns Esplanade offers a diverse and enjoyable experience along the tropical waterfront. "

"The ocean surrounding Cairns is inhabited with animals such as jellyfish, stingrays and crocodiles. So the lagoon is the perfect place to safely swim in salt water, with a view of the ocean right next to you. The lagoon is situated right on the esplanade, which has lots of shops and food places to explore."
