Port Douglas

Port Douglas, located an hour’s drive north of Cairns, is a laid-back tropical town renowned for its relaxed charm and natural beauty. Once a bustling port during the gold rush of the late 1800s, it has evolved into a boutique holiday destination, offering easy access to both the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. The town’s centre is lined with stylish restaurants, galleries, and shops, while Four Mile Beach stretches invitingly along the coast, perfect for a morning walk or swim. With its blend of luxury resorts, local markets, and a welcoming village atmosphere, Port Douglas is a gateway to some of Far North Queensland’s most iconic experiences.
