Esplanade Lagoon Pool offers one of the best places to beat the Cairns heat. Look out on the Barrier Reef and Trinity inlet from this 4,800 sq m (51,666 sq ft) saltwater lagoon. The lagoon water is saltwater from the inlet run through a filtration system. The sandy perimeter provides material for sand castles, and kids can wade in the lagoon's shallow water. To relax, recline on the timber deck beneath a shady tree. By using our Cairns day trip website, you can arrange your visit to Esplanade Lagoon Pool and other attractions in Cairns.

Nice place to chill for a bit with the kids. Lifeguards on duty (some may be a little over zealous with the interpretation of the rules at times), cafes close by, and it is close to Muddys playground.... more

Fantastic free pool. Small sand area by the water but mostly surrounded by concrete. Shallow and deep aspects of the pool. Toilets and change rooms close by. Baby change space has no shower/toilet which made cleaning our youngest difficult. Fair amount of shade surrounding the pool. Some free parking in close proximity, but mostly paid parking. Food shops small walking distance away. Coffee shop onsite that sells frequently needed items (sunscreen, hats etc).

Love this place, it never disappoints. It's always clean and well maintained and even though it's been a number of years since our last visit it was still a reliable spot of entertainment and relaxation. Kids loved it.
