Hotels in Cairns Beaches, Australia

Cairns Beaches stretch along Australia's tropical northeast coast, famous for being your launchpad to the Great Barrier Reef and the ancient Daintree Rainforest. The climate is warm year-round, with dry winters (June-August) averaging 70°F (21°C)-perfect for snorkeling at the reef or hiking in the rainforest-while wet summers (December-February) hit 86°F (30°C) with afternoon storms, a great time for cheaper boat tours and fewer crowds. You can swim at Palm Cove's patrolled beach or take a ferry from the marina to dive the reef's coral gardens.
