Iconic: the waterfront in Cairns is the perfect place for a stroll.

Taking a stroll along the Cairns Esplanade waterfront is something locals take for granted.

However for visitors to the town, this is a "must-do" activity while travelling to North Queensland.

The Cairns Esplanade is the main hub of Cairns City and is enjoyed by both locals and tourists alike.

It features award-winning attractions including the Esplanade Lagoon, Muddy's Playground and the Esplanade Skate Park, ensuring that all ages and persuasions are catered for.

The boardwalk that extents along the waterfront is a haven for nature-lovers.

The mudflats feature an abundance of Cairns wildlife and is known around the world as one of the bird-watching destinations in Australia.

The Esplanade also has some of the best Cairns restaurants, with no trip to Cairns complete without dinner and drinks overlooking the waterfront.
