Cairns Beaches Tours by The Tour Specialists

You can stroll along these endless beaches for hours and only come across a few other dedicated fitness fanatics, local's exercising their dogs or happy tourists such as yourself every half hour or so. Such bliss! Cairns beaches are very safe and do not have huge surf or rough waves like the beaches south of the Great Barrier Reef as the foreshore is fully protected by the giant coral reef structures that sit further out to sea on the Great Barrier Reef extending right out to the edge of Australia's Continental shelf.

The gentleness of the ocean makes the Cairns Northern beaches the perfect location for a greater range of beach activities such as stand up board paddling, kayaking, fantastic wind surfing, volleyball, beach cricket, bike riding on a low tide, beach fishing, prawning, catching lobsters, building sand castles with the little ones, looking for sea shells and much more.
