YORKEYS KNOB
It's true, Cairns city wasn't blessed with a sandy beach, just tidal mudflats. The City Council has made up for this with the recent construction of a sparkling man made lagoon on the Cairns esplanade. But if you want a 'real' beach experience, you'll have to head a wee ways north, to the string of peaceful, leafy, beachside suburbs called -not surprisingly- the 'Northern Beaches'. C'mon in, the water's perfect!
THE BEACHFRONT COMMUNITIES MAKING UP THE 20 KILOMETRE STRETCH OF COASTLINE KNOWN AS THE 'NORTHERN BEACHES' ARE EACH QUITE UNIQUE IN ATMOSPHERE. USE THE LINKS IN THE SIDE COLUMN TO GO TO YOUR CHOSEN DESTINATION.
The Northern Beaches are pleasant, laid back little villages lined with palm trees and plenty of shaded, grassy areas for picnics and BBQs. The tourism boom in the Cairns region hasn't spoilt the authentic Tropical North Queensland charm of these communities, and although the areas are well served by public transport, with local bus company Sunbus running regular services to and from the centre of Cairns, the Northern Beaches are largely overlooked by the masses. In fact, you can still often find a stretch of beach completely to yourself, especially during the week, when many of the residents are at work.

The Northern Beaches have always been a popular getaway for Cairns locals, but in recent years the has area seen the development of a range of tourist accommodation and restaurants, particularly popular with families on vacation. The communities that make up the Cairns Northern Beaches are: Machan's Beach, Holloway's Beach, Yorkey's Knob, Trinity Beach, Kewarra Beach, Clifton Beach, Palm Cove and Ellis Beach.

Swimmers at the Northern Beaches of Holloway's Beach, Yorkey's Knob, Trinity Beach, Kewarra Beach, Clifton Beach, Palm Cove and Ellis Beach can swim in stinger resistant enclosures during the summer 'stinger season'The Cairns City Council installs stinger resistant nets at the northern end of Yorkeys Knob beach during the 'stinger season'. Swim only in netted areas, and for more information about marine stingers, please visit our SAFE TRAVEL page.

YORKEYS KNOB

Yorkeys Knob is separated from Holloways Beach to the south by a narrow channel and a large sand bar, and is terminated at the northern end by ... well ... a rather large knob. To get to 'Yorkeys', after you exit the highway, you'll pass sugar cane farms before reaching the village and then the beach.

Aerial view of the almost deserted beach of Yorkeys Knob, north of Cairns. This quiet beachside suburb apparently owes its name to one George Yorkey Lawson, a Yorkshire born, Cairns based beche-de-mer (sea cucumber) fisherman. Yorkey built a homestead in the vinicity of what is now Yorkeys Knob. The 'knob' is the headland at the northern end of the beach, the first headland north of the Harbour of Cairns.

Yorkeys Knob is a very popular beach for water sports, but especially kite surfing. In fact, this little stretch of beach is regardeded as one of the top kitesurfing and kiteboarding locations in Australia, and is renowned among kitesurfers worldwide. On any day with more than a few knots of tropical breeze, the kitsurfers will line the southern end of the beach, providing a thrilling and colourful spectacle for other beachgoers.

As Yorkeys Knob develops, the two big attractions are the Half Moon Bay Boat Club and Marina, and the Half Moon Bay Country Golf Club. That's not to mention the long open beach, with stinger nets enclosures which provides safe swimming during the summer months. There is a good range of accommodation to suit all budgets and a number of restaurants and take aways, with luxury resorts and condominiums in the planning.

Yorkey's Knob, in the Cairns Northern Beaches, is one of the most popular destinations in Australia for kite surfing or kiting.For its small size, Yorkeys Knob has all the services you may need during your vacation: a mini-supermarket, video store, a liquor store, post office, and bakery. There is a newsagency at The Beach Place, on Sims Esplanade. The petrol station is outside the village, as you take the turnoff from the highway.

Every year, during the Queen's birthday long weekend, the residents of Yorkeys Knob celebrate The Festival of the Knob. For more information about this and other festivals in the area, please visit our TROPICAL NORTH QUEENSLAND EVENTS CALENDAR.
