Ellis Beach

Ellis Beach is a wide and secluded beach known for its natural beauty. It is located in Cairns, a city in Queensland, Australia. The beach is characterized by its hot sand and lack of sting we nets, making it less suitable for swimming. Despite this, it is a popular spot for locals and occasional tourists who enjoy the tranquility and scenic views it offers. The beach is accessible via the coastal highway, with visitors driving through the middle of it as they head north. It is also dog-friendly, making it a popular spot for dog walkers. The beach offers ample parking for visitors, and there is a shop located across the road for convenience. Ellis Beach is not just a place for relaxation, but also for activities. It is a great spot for barbecues, especially in the mornings. Visitors can also enjoy walking along the beach or finding shade in the tree line to extend their stay. However, due to the hot sun and presence of crocodiles, it is recommended that visitors, especially those with children, take turns keeping an eye out for safety. Despite its seclusion, Ellis Beach tends to attract mostly locals, with the occasional tourist visiting from time to time. It is a great place to unwind and watch the sunset in the evening. Best of all, like most good things in Cairns, visiting Ellis Beach is free.
