Latest reviews on Cairns's beaches

Palm Cove Beach
10 Nikolai Zalewski

This beach is amazing. The sand and beach are fantastic. The only downside is the presence of crocodiles, which can be a deterrent from swimming in areas that are not well-protected.

Clifton Beach
10 deano

Stunning location, comfortable lodging, and fantastic weather.

Ellis Beach
10 J-Hud

What an amazing drive! There are plenty of places to eat and drink, and the views are absolutely incredible.

Holloways Beach
10 Manuel Schmidt

Top beach destination for dog owners

Buchans Point Beach
8 Kaspar Kovalov

Unfortunately, swimming isn't allowed here, but the view is stunning.

Wungu Beach
10 Shane Anderson

This beach holds great significance to me and my family as it is a traditional area for the Gunngandji clan, our home beach. The love and connection we have for this place as the traditional owners is immense.
