Reviews of Clifton Beach, QLD
"Overpriced."
Do yourself a favour and try Kewarra. Clifton is overrated with 1 cafe and a small shopping centre.

Diane we agree, Clifton Beach is one of the Northern Beaches best kept secrets. Beautiful quiet beaches, with a combination of large established properties, and affordable smaller homes and apartments too. Its a great place to call home - Villages Shops, Cafes, Pizza,Tennis Club and the best Mojitos at Coco Mojos. Welcome to Paradise!!!
"Tropical escape."
We lived in Clifton Beach for 13 years. We witnessed the slow but steady growth of this beach village. It has a great shopping centre...Coles, Doctors, Chemist, Bakery etc. If you need a larger variety then the Smithfield shopping centre is only 10 minutes drive away. The pace in this neighbourhood is laid back. There is one really good restaurant near the beach, Coco Mojos (excellent food). If your a foodie, then Palm Cove is only 5 minutes by car. There is a really good local tennis club that has operated for years. The only reason we left was because we had the neighbours from hell. Now that we have tried living in a few different places we have decided to return to our beloved Clifton Beach.
"Unspoilt Paradise"
Loved every minute of living here. I visited Clifton Beach many years ago and loved the location I decided to seek work in Cairns just so I can relocate for a period of time. It had a blend of accommodation style ranging from apartments, resorts and luxury homes. There is just enough development projects going on, a convenient shopping centre and unspoilt views of the beach. The locals are friendly and the streets are always clean and safe.Only 20mins to the City, 5minutes to Palm Cove and 30minutes to Port Douglas, it's Cairns best kept secret.

"Overpriced and lacks character"
Has a Coles which doesn't add much value.l in my opinion. House prices on decline as people now see they can get better quality in suburbs right next to it like Kewarra Beach. Beach is not bad. Close to palm Cove.

"Clifton beach"
Stayed here for several weeks and loved every minute of it. The place is paradise and the waterfront reminded me of a holiday long ago in srilanks......unspoiled and the new Clifton restaurant management and three nights are great value too!
All in all I would love to live here and maybe one day I will....
