About Port Douglas:
It is a relaxed seaside village situated in the middle of the World Heritage-Listed Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. Surrounded by nature, Port Douglas is the perfect place for relaxed coastal living. Home to over 5,500 residents in the area, in peak season Port Douglas caters to around 700,000 visitors which generally comes at the beginning of winter when it grows cold in the South and turns FNQ into the perfect weather for a beach holiday. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, whether it's visiting a refreshing local waterhole for a swim, going diving or fishing out on the reef, playing a round of golf, exploring nature in the rainforest, or sitting at one of our many restaurants or cafes for a delicious seafood lunch. Cairns is our closest city, 1 hour south from Port Douglas, which holds many attractions, accommodation, restaurants, and shopping. Then travelling west, you hit the beautiful Tablelands where you can visit many small villages and lakes or heading North takes you to the tip of Australia through many gold mining towns. However, you are, there is plenty to do and see in this stunning place we call home.
