Cairns and Northern Beaches overview

The thriving town of Cairns is the gateway to North Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef, and offers a bewildering array of excursions and attractions, plus the region’s best shopping and nightlife. Cairns has an esplanade and swimming lagoon
rather than a beach, but you’ll find palm-fringed beaches just north of town, at idyllic Kewarra, laid-back Trinity Beach, and sophisticated Palm Cove which is known for its stylish hotels, restaurants and world-class health spas.
