PORT DOUGLAS,  Australia...

Situated 45 minutes north of Cairns International and Domestic Airport, Port Douglas is the closest gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Travelling by road from Cairns to Port Douglas is a spectacular coastal drive along pristine palm fringed sandy beaches. There are many areas to pull off the highway and enjoy a picnic or stroll along deserted beaches.

Port Douglas is on a small peninsula, it ends at Flagstaff Hill where a lookout at the summit provides breathtaking 360 degree views of the Coral sea , beaches, village, canefarms and mountain ranges falling onto the coast. The relaxed seaside village offers something for everyone, cafes, restaurants, gallerys, boutiques, accommodation, it can be as exciting or laidback as you wish to make it. On one side of the peninsula is the natural harbor of Dicksons Inlet, here the Marina Mirage complex provides a safe and secure haven for both private and commercial craft. It also has a large retail and water front dining centre with specialty shops and night clubs. On the other side of the headland is the world famous palm fringed Four Mile Beach. A mecca for both local and international visitors. Such natural beauty and all within walking distance of the village facilities. A must do when in town is the Sunday Markets held in the park next to St Marys by the Sea Church .
