From glamorous Four Mile Beach to the wilderness of Dickson Inlet, picturesque Port Douglas has become an international holiday mecca.
Despite its development and up-market atmosphere, the town has maintained a relaxed, village feel, especially on weekends. It attracts visitors for its old-fashioned charm, wide streets shaded by trees and superb holiday attractions.
In this laid-back, yet sophisticated tropical paradise, you can play golf, shop in world-class specialty stores and dine in restaurants that exude an exquisite, serene ambiance.
With no building taller than a palm tree, the town is low-rise, low-key and relaxing.

Exploring the reef and rainforest
Port Douglas is a popular base from which to explore the northern areas of North Queensland's reef and rainforest.
You can sail, scuba-dive or fish on the Great Barrier Reef or take an escorted tour of the Daintree River and National Park. More than 100 day tours depart from Port Douglas each day.
