North of Cairns, Port Douglas sits beside Four Mile Beach with rainforest-clad mountains behind. Its marina provides direct access to reef excursions while the Daintree begins further north.
Experiencing Port Douglas
Spend one day on the reef and another in the rainforest, then leave space for beach time, restaurants and the Sunday market.
Planning your stay
Port Douglas is particularly good for travellers wanting a relaxed single base rather than changing hotels between Cairns, the reef and Daintree.
