“Port Douglas is one of a kind. A small tropical town on a narrow peninsula, with the Great Barrier Reef on one side and the world’s oldest rainforest on the other. Some destinations claim to be special. Port Douglas simply is.”

Welcome to Port Douglas — Where the Reef Begins

Port Douglas sits between two of Australia’s extraordinary natural environments. Offshore lies the Great Barrier Reef, while to the north the Daintree Rainforest stretches towards Cape Tribulation. Between them is a relaxed tropical town that makes an exceptional base for exploring both reef and rainforest.

Four Mile Beach follows the edge of town, while Macrossan Street brings together cafés, restaurants, shops and the easy pace Port Douglas is known for. On Sunday mornings, the Port Douglas Markets bring local makers, produce and community life to Anzac Park.

Port Douglas lies within the traditional Country of the Kuku Yalanji people, whose enduring connection to Country adds an important cultural dimension to experiencing this remarkable region.
