Picturesque Port Douglas, hub of the
region, is just 70 kilometres north of Cairns international airport
along a spectacular scenic coastal drive. Holidaymakers relish Port
Douglas’ natural beauty and excellent year round climate. Its
relaxed seaside village ambience blends superbly with the vibrant
atmosphere of tropical style and sophistication. It captures
visitors by the heart and has made Port Douglas a favourite
international destination.
Nestled at the end of a peninsula, the tranquil waters of a natural
harbour on one side of the village embrace a lively marina. Along
the other side of the peninsula stretches the breathtaking sandy
sweep of beautiful Four Mile Beach.
Soak up the sunshine on the beach, stroll among the village shops,
galleries, historic buildings and the seaside Sunday market. Play a
round of golf, visit a rainforest wildlife centre, relax over
sundowner drinks at a boardwalk café, or dine on a delicious
tropical dinner at one of the many fine restaurants.
Port Douglas is the closest gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. A
natural wonder abundant with incredible biodiversity. Colourful
coral gardens of every shape and form, home to an abundant array of
tropical marine life. There’s a reef tour to suit every style,
making it so easily accessible that everyone can experience this
extraordinary underwater world.
The World Heritage rainforests are also within easy reach of Port
Douglas. The lush green coastal strip of the Daintree, Cape
Tribulation region to the north of Port Douglas is home to some of
the oldest forests in the world and is a treasure trove of rare
plant and animal species.
