PORT DOUGLAS

SUN, SAND AND RELAXED VIBES

WITH as much or as little to do as your holiday deems necessary, Port Douglas is a favourite destination for travellers of all walks – from scruffy backpackers to the rich and famous, with celebrities such as P!NK, Bill Clinton, Tom Hanks and Mick Jagger dropping by over the years.

With none of the bustle that comes with visiting other high-profile holiday destinations, coupled with stunning natural surrounds, it’s easy to see why Port is a favourite.

Soak up the fantastically chilled-out vibe while wandering through the town, shopping at unique boutiques, visiting premier art galleries and discovering some of the region’s finest in dining.

Be sure to catch the towering views of Four Mile Beach and the Coral Sea from the top of Flagstaff Hill, and get down to Anzac Park on Sundays to check out the outdoor markets. St Mary’s by the Sea, a fully-restored 1880 nondenominational chapel situated in the town’s heart, is also worth a look.

Those looking for something to do are spoilt for choice at Port Douglas, with plenty of water-based activities such as Reef trips, diving, fishing and paragliding.

Enjoy Breakfast with the Birds, Lunch with the Lorikeets or Picnic with the Parrots at Wildlife Habitat and be immersed in the Wet Tropics environment as wildlife freely explores around you.

Scattered with world-class resorts and luxury apartments, as well as accommodation options to suit families and travellers on a budget, many people choose to spend at least a few nights at Port Douglas to make the most of the slower pace of life, where days last longer and ocean breezes carry your worries away.
