Over the last 30 years, Port Douglas has grown from a seaside village
to an international standard resort town. There are more than 50 restaurants and
more than 150 tours on offer, many to the Great
Barrier Reef and Daintree, Mossman
and Cape Tribulation rainforests. Much is to
be said for unwinding on Port Douglas's own Four Mile Beach. It is a gorgeous
stretch of golden sand studded with shady palm trees just perfect for lazing under.
An experience not to be missed is breakfast with the birds at the Rainforest Habitat, an amazing park showcasing the natural inhabitants (both animals and plants) of the Tropical North.
Sunday is the day for visiting Port Douglas' local markets by the sea. You'll
find everything from handwoven hammocks and fresh coconut milk straight from the
nut, to exotic herbs and tropical fruits grown on the Atherton
Tableland.
If there's a place you've stayed or something you've done, but we haven't listed, review it for us!
