Cairns Esplanade Lagoon offers a refreshing and enjoyable recreational spot in the heart of Cairns. It's a free, massive outdoor swimming pool with both shallow and deep areas, perfect for families with children of all ages. The pool features a small sand area mimicking a beach and is surrounded by ample shade and parkland. Clean and well-maintained facilities include toilets, change rooms, and lockers, while lifeguards ensure safety. A cafe on-site provides coffee and essential items like sunscreen and hats. With the picturesque backdrop of the Coral Sea, this spot is also ideal for a leisurely stroll or picnic. It's well serviced by nearby shops, restaurants, and even a McDonald's, and offers a combination of free and paid parking. Despite sometimes being crowded, this vibrant public space remains a must-visit location in Cairns.
