Ellis Beach

This stunning 4km stretch of golden sand just north of Cairns consistently impresses the 154+ visitors who rate it highly for its calm, crystalline waters and pristine tropical setting. Perfect for families and snorkellers seeking accessible reef encounters without boat trips, Ellis Beach stands out for its patrolled swimming enclosure protecting against stingers during summer months. The beachfront esplanade, dotted with cafés and shaded picnic areas, makes it equally appealing for relaxed beach days.
