Port Douglas

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Port Douglas certainly outclasses Cairns in the hip stakes. Its a genuine reef resort with a long stretch of beach backed by palm trees, and an atmosphere far different from its southern rival Cairns. Its streets are lined with expensive eateries and clothes shops, and exclusive resorts.

Despite its development and upmarket allegiances, the town has a relaxed village feel about it, especially on the weekend when the down-at-heel beer gardens of its pubs fill up with drinkers and its outdoor Sunday markets take over Anzac Park.

Suggested Itineraries: Port Douglas

You're likely to put in at least a few hours or days on the gorgeous Four Mile Beach: a band of white-sand beach backed by palms that goes as far as your squinting eyes can see. You can go parasailing and jet skiing from a waterfront hut or you could just lie there for hours, the Munch buggy plies the length of the beach selling ice creams and snacks.
