The boardwalk provides a nice stroll along the water, showcasing fine dining places, wine bars and brewery.

I walk long here frequently. It's well maintainedand offeres a nice view out to the ocean and mountains. It's nice and wide so plenty of space to overtake people having a leisurely stroll if you out for a jog and also has a work out spot. If you do the whole lot you walk past the boat wharfs, lagoon for swimming, restaurants, green parks and sporting areas.

The Esplanade Boardwalk is lovely. Our accommodation was a little further out right on the harbour so every morning we walked along the boardwalk in to main area of Cairns for breakfast and back again before planning our day. Great walk and plenty of friendly people. Plenty of birdlife in and around the water.

I loved going for walks, sit and read a book. This is a wonderful place for any age group to hang around. Loved it.
