Welcome to Port Douglas, Australia


Port Douglas is 40 miles North of Cairns, and about 1700 miles North of Sydney. The main attraction is the small romantic resort community and the proximity to the Great Barrier Reef. There is no other place like it on earth. It combines modern convenience with unspoiled beauty. For more info on Port Douglas try the Port Douglas Visitor's Bureau Home Page.
Beautiful Beaches This is one of the several beaches on the road between Cairns and Port Douglas. The drive was one of the most beautiful I have ever been on. Twisting winding roads with the Rainforest on one side and large stretches of beach on the other. Port Douglas has Four Mile Beach which is unforgetable, you can get your sun near other people or you can find yourself a secluded spot to have all to yourself.

Great Barrier Reef, Port Douglas is the closest port to the reef and attracts divers from all over the world. I did two dives where I had visibility of 150 feet and a water temperature of 80 degrees. The reef is also teeming with life: Sea Turtles, Coral, Giant Cod, Barramundi, Reef Sharks, and lots of other creatures. Lucky for the divers, the jellyfish stay near the beach and away from the reef.
