Port Douglas Travel Guide: 227 reviews and 586 photos

Port Douglas is a small chic town an hours drive from the City of Cairns. Sitting on the edge of the coral sea it is surrounded by rain forest.

Port Douglas Australia was once a tiny fishing village. Today Port Douglas still maintains the look and feel of a picturesque township with an old fashioned charm. Shady, tree lined streets with an extensive choice of restaurants, art galleries, boutique shops and a "fun filled" Sunday Market. Port Douglas still can boast of having no traffic lights, no parking meters and no plans to intention to install them.

Port Douglas is the centre of everything adventurous. There are over 100 tour operators in Port Douglas departing to the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, Bloomfield Falls, Mossman Gorge, the Atherton Tablelands or Cooktown by boat, 4-wheel drive or air conditioned coach.
