Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Second Beach sits near Cairns City, along the coast in Tropical North Queensland. With 13 reviews behind its 4.1 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a lovely, relaxed slice of the tropical coast — a beach with sand, water and beautiful surrounds, a genuine favourite for a walk, a relaxed day by the water or simply soaking up the Far North Queensland setting near Cairns. It's a lovely, free outing.
Beaches in the tropical north have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations — including marine stingers in the warmer months and crocodile safety to be mindful of — so check current details and any safety advice before you go. Bring sun protection, water and follow local advice.
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 4.1 from 13 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
