A great time of year at the Esplanade. The best time of day is on the
rising tide with the sun behind you i.e. over Cairns and that way you're not
looking into it as you scan the beach. However trust me it's always good.
You'll be pleasently surprised at the number of species that will be working
the mud despite the scores of tourists walking passed on the boardwalk.
The northern end is the best 'cos at high tide a lot of birds will gather at
the diminishing beach and you are next to the mangroves.
Enjoy!
