The gateway to the
Daintree National Park, Port Douglas used to be known simply as The Village by the Sea. Nestled between the superb Four Mile Beach and scenic Dickson Point, Port Douglas is a playground for those who come to explore the northern areas of the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest coast of Daintree and
Cape Tribulation. While Port Douglas boasts an international reputation as a sophisticated resort town, it has managed to retain its original village charm.
The Captain Cook Highway, which links Port Douglas with
Cairns 73km south, is one of
Australia’s most scenic coastal drives. With easy access to the Great Barrier Reef, the renowned World Heritage rainforest of the Daintree/Cape Tribulation region, and the lakes and waterfalls of the
Atherton Tablelands, Port Douglas is a great base from which to explore Far
North Queensland.
