Hitting the Beach in Cairns

It's difficult to do actually because there is no beach here, at least not what we think of as a beach. This decent-sized city is known for its proximity to the Great Barrier Reef, but it has no sand, only mud flats. So it constructed a chlorinated, freshwater 'lagoon' right on the 'beach' with sand on one side and decks on the other. It is actually quite nice, and the backpackers flock here when the sun is out.
