The Cairns Esplanade Lagoon is a man-made swimming area located in the heart of Cairns, Australia. Built in 2003, this popular attraction offers locals and tourists a safe and refreshing place to swim and relax, ... with stunning views of the Coral Sea. Visitors can enjoy sunbathing on the sandy beach, picnicking in the shaded areas, or taking a dip in the crystal-clear waters. Popular activities at the lagoon include swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying a BBQ with family and friends. The lagoon is also a great spot for people-watching and soaking up the laid-back atmosphere of Cairns. The best time to visit the Cairns Esplanade Lagoon is during the dry season, from June to October, when the weather is warm and sunny. This is also the peak tourist season, so the lagoon may be more crowded during this time. Cairns is a vibrant city with a rich Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage. Visitors can learn about the local culture and traditions through various events and activities held along the Esplanade, such as traditional dance performances and art exhibitions. Read more ▼
