Food, fun and did I mention food and fun. Cairns Esplanade restaurants and cafes are as diverse as the people strolling along the promenade. Night Markets, Escape the heat at one of Cairns' best known landmarks, the Esplanade Lagoon.

Hidden away behind a headland poking out into the Coral Sea, lies one of Tropical North Queensland’s best-kept secrets, Yorkey’s Knob. The laidback tropical atmosphere and feeling of ‘seclusion’ of Yorkey’s Knob is irresistible for those looking to escape, relax and unwind.
The magnificent sweeping deck of the local Yorkey’s Knob Boat Club commands spectacular views of the yachts moored in Half Moon Bay and out to the headland of Trinity Beach. You’ll find the Half Moon Bay Golf Club right by the boat club.
Those looking to wet a line are well catered for with many good fishing spots around the bay, beach and mangroves. Keen anglers can also hire a boat and anchor off the bay for a day of fishing in the open sea.
Yorkey’s Knob is just 15 minutes from the Cairns City Centre, just under an hour to Port Douglas and only 10 minutes to the turn-off to Kuranda and the beautiful Atherton Tablelands.
There are a number of take away's and restaurants dotted around the suburb. A local IGA for all your bread, milk and paper. A vet, Doctor, Butcher and a baker just to name a few.
Yorkeys Cafe has an amazing Egg's benny and coffee. Somewhere to relax and read the Saturday paper in quite.
Hidden Restaurant has a award winning chef and a award winning atmosphere. Set just off the beach and amongst beautiful gardens this is a romantic spot for all occasions.
Smithfield shopping centre is 10 minutes up the road with a cinema and over 96 stores available to wonder through. There is even a gym if you desire.
