Frequently Asked Questions

Pool Day Pass FAQs for Cairns

It is generally **not recommended** to swim in the ocean at Cairns beaches (like the Esplanade mudflats) due to crocodiles and seasonal marine stingers (jellyfish). You should always swim in the **Esplanade Lagoon**, at patrolled beaches with stinger nets (like Palm Cove), or out on the reef.
No. The **Shangri-La The Marina** does not sell pool passes to the public. To use their pool, you usually need to book a 'Day Use' room via a third-party site or contact the hotel directly.
Cairns is tropical, so heating is rarely needed, but the Novotel pool is temperature-controlled to be comfortable year-round. It also features a sandy beach entry which is great for kids.
