Description

Clifton Beach is located 22 kilometres north of Cairns and 42 kilometres south of Port Douglas and is a central point for all day tour operators and self drive tours. Clifton Beach is a dormitory suburb of Cairns, Queensland, Australia located on the shores of the Coral Sea. The beach itself is clean and deep, entertains a moderate swell from the southeasterly trade winds, and is home to a large pippy population. In case you're wondering what on earth a pippy is, these are small muscle-like creatures that bury themselves in the sand but continuously get dredged back to the surface as waves climb up the foreshore. They are very entertaining to watch, and make great fishing bait if you have nothing else to use.
