Practical details

Ellis Beach, Queensland, Australia

Why it's worth checking out

Ellis Beach sits along the Captain Cook Highway north of Cairns, on the scenic drive towards Port Douglas in tropical Far North Queensland. A strong 4.7 rating from 156 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.

The appeal is a stunning, palm-fringed beach in a beautiful setting — golden sand and clear water where the rainforest-clad hills meet the Coral Sea, a lovely spot for a swim, a picnic or simply soaking up the scenery, right on the gorgeous coastal drive. It's a genuine tropical highlight.

Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations (including marine stingers at certain times), so check current advisories and swim between the flags where patrolled. Otherwise it's a free, beautiful spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.7 from 156 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
