Cairns Port Douglas

Fast becoming a playground for the rich and famous, the laid-back North Queensland town of Port Douglas is blessed with year round, balmy weather. Port Douglas, Australia's popularity has increased markedly in recent years and the market has certainly kept up.

Apart from a fine range of shopping and dining experiences on offer, Port Douglas has an impressive array of accommodation. From luxurious resorts like the new Sea Temple Port Douglas Resort, with everything you could desire, including your own golf course, to top notch backpacker accommodation, Port Douglas is the luxury escape for every budget.

The majority of activities in town are centred around Macrossan Street and a Port Douglas map will direct you to its many galleries, restaurants and day spas.

At one end of Macrossan Street is the beautiful Dickson inlet, embarkation point for all of your Great Barrier Reef adventures. It is here you will also find the Sunday morning markets abuzz with local colour and creativity.

At the other end of the street is the spectacular Four Mile Beach, dotted with a number of fine Port Douglas hotels. As the name suggests, it is four miles of white sand and unspoilt vistas.

While you're in this unforgettable part of Australia, you must visit the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef and of course, the world famous Daintree rainforest.

A map of the area will lead you north to the small town of Daintree, gateway to the Daintree National Park. You'll find a number of agencies in town to help you book your trip to the Australia's Daintree, travel in Port Douglas as well as other tours.
