CAIRNS ESPLANADE FUN SHIP PLAYGROUND

Public BBQ

Cairns Esplanade's Fun Ship Playground offers that perfect tropical combination of seaside setting and child-friendly facilities. The ship-themed climbing equipment sits right beside the beach, making it ideal for quick picnic stops where kids can alternate between playground and sand. The mosquitoes and midges can be aggressive, so insect repellent is absolutely essential. Public toilets are conveniently located nearby, though the superior facilities at Muddy's water play area are worth the 15-minute walk. With excellent sea views and open grass areas for running about, it's exactly what you want from a beachside playground - functional, scenic, and refreshingly unpretentious.
