Relax at the lagoon,
taste tropical fruits

Cairns is a perfect holiday destination. It has everything you need and you will love its laid back ambiance. Even if there is no accessible beach, the lagoon is very nice and finishing the day with a yummy barbeque is the way to go. Make sure you visit Rusty’s market (on Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and taste delicious tropical fruits!
