Introduction

Holloways Beach is a small beachside community on Cairns' northern beaches line, roughly 7-10 km north of the city centre, named after the cove of the same name. The area was historically known as 'Holloway Beach', and the current spelling with the apostrophe was adopted around the 1970s. On the ocean side it offers a stinger-netted swimming enclosure, a boat ramp and public facilities, while the suburb is mostly a quiet residential beach. Development flourished after the Captain Cook Highway linked the northern suburbs to the coast. It is a peaceful spot for a relaxed beach day on Cairns' northern beaches.
