Why it's worth checking out
The Bluewater sits on Harbour Drive at Trinity Park, near the lovely northern beaches close to Cairns in tropical north Queensland. A popular waterfront restaurant, it makes the most of its lovely marina-side location — combining quality food and good drinks with a relaxed atmosphere and lovely water views, the kind of welcoming spot perfect for a meal by the water.
The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a beautiful waterside setting near the marina, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner or drinks with lovely water views. With its lovely location near the northern beaches, The Bluewater has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,600 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront restaurant fills up over weekends and the tourist season, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a table with the water views, dining with a group, or visiting the Cairns area in peak season.
