Cairns Esplanade Lagoon
Swim or relax at Cairns Esplanade Lagoon, a free public swimming area on the city waterfront. Surrounding paths and lawns make it useful even for a brief non-swimming stop.

Keep exploring Queensland with our travel partners.
The lagoon gives central Cairns a practical water stop without entering the nearby coastal mudflats or open sea. It also links naturally with an Esplanade walk and nearby dining. Use the signed swimming area, follow any lifeguard instructions and check council maintenance notices before making swimming the centre of your day.
