"Please be Carefull "....

the waters off Cairns are home to some of the worlds most dangerous creatures.....the Box "stinger" Jellyfish can cause extreme pain or worse if touched... and the salt water Crocodile is Australia's largest and most dangerous reptile reaching up to 6 to 7 metres long....both inhabit these waters...swim if you must ...but please be carefull...

Seems like plenty to do just staying on the beach with your camera.....

[MaryBeth Dailey]

All those scary creatures make for no "day at the beach." Haha

[Andrew S]

No stingers at this time of year though, otherwise you would see the stinger nets up. The beauty is that you can swim in Cairns year round! ;)

[Lynne Hart]

Don't think I'd be any where near the sea here. However, it does look to be a beautiful beach, well shot and like the commentary.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Knowing that about what lurks in these waters, I think I'd just be content to lounge on the sand and watch the risk takers brave the wilds. Nice action shot of the beach.

[Kerry McCarthy]

I might pass on taking a dip but the beach looks lovely.

[Denise Wood]

Tourism Australia won't be happy with you!! Scaring all the tourist from overseas - -they have a great fear of all our "nasties" :) Happy swimming if you're game :)

[Susan C Clow]

Lovely beach image. Makes me want to be there.

[Poppo Livy]

Get the pantyhose out

[Colin Fawsett]

Great beach shot. No way would I venture into the water.

[Gena Pegg]

Whoa...think I would stick being a beach bum and people watching. Love beach shot and that yellow really pops!!

[Martin Jalkotzy]

@terryliv huh? I presume that will help out with the stingers.....but what about the crocs? Or is this the Aussie version of Canadians afraid to go in the bush because grizzly lurks there?

[Poppo Livy]

@mjalkotzy After I posted I realised that John had mentioned crocs too. Panty hose not much of a deterrent there. :-) But I get your point about exaggerated dangers and yes it could have been taken in that context also for the crocs
