Escape the heat at one of Cairns' best known landmarks, the Esplanade Lagoon. Set on the Cairns foreshore overlooking Trinity Inlet, the 4800 sq metre saltwater swimming lagoon offers locals and tourists a year round safe swimming location. Saltwater is pumped from the inlet and filtered through a state of the art filtration and chlorination system, to meet Australian Standards. The kids can enjoy the sandy edges, build sand castles and play in shallow water. On the other side of the Lagoon, visitors can lounge on the timber decks in moderate shade. Shady trees, landscaped gardens and open spaces all contribute to the leisurely atmosphere on the Esplanade The Lagoon is open 6am-6pm Thursday - Tuesday, Midday-6pm Wednesday all year round.

Absolutely fabulous definitely recommend if you are holidaying in Cairns and near the Esplanade you’ve got to swim in the lagoon at least once a day to cool off. The people of Cairns are very lucky to have this lagoon here.

6. Figtree Playground

The Figtree Playground is right downtown Cairns. An entire play area has been built in and around this giant tree with many aerial roots (see my picture and others). This is a delightful playground that is perfect for children ages 4-14. Visiting the playground could be a good filler between other activities, or a place to spend some energy when the children need to run. The playground is surrounded by lawn on one side, and a pier with coffee shops and such on the other side. There are no tickets, no staff, no reservations. Just show up and have fun.

Beautiful park which has lovely green lawns, kids playground, BBQ’s, tables, seating, toilets and wonderful views. A hidden gem. Could be missed when driving past. Worth a visit. Reef world and the Waterfront Restaurant are located here however we didn’t go there as we had our dog with us.
