5 Ways To Have Fun In Port Douglas

Port Douglas is one of the nicest places to visit for that holiday you have been saving up for so diligently. It is sandwiched between two places that have been named as world heritage: the Great Barrier Reef on one side and the world heritage Rainforest. Add to that equation the blue waters of the Coral Sea and you have yourself a perfect holiday with plenty to explore. Port Douglas accommodation is at par with international standards, and ranges from budget to luxury premises.

Once you are well settled in the accommodation of your liking, go out and do these things for maximum fun.

1. Take a Stroll on Four Mile Beach

The wide sand deck bordered by turquoise waters make the four mile beach a must visit. It is a peaceful place away from urban busy life, and it is family friendly. Taking a stroll down this beach may be one of the most memorable parts of your holiday. After all, isn’t a beach what comes to mind when the word holiday is mentioned?

2. Visit the Great Barrier Reef.

You have the option to snorkel alongside the fish or see the reef from the deck of a boat, but make sure you don’t leave Port Douglas before visiting this spectacular natural wonder. The reef is home to one of 1,500 species of dolphins, rays, sea turtles and fish. It also has over 400 species of coral.

3. Take in the Panoramic view from Flagstaff Hill

Flagstaff hill is a strategic point to take in the panoramic view that is Port Doulas. Bounded by water from three points, the Port looks like a view from a postcard, the perfect picture to update to your social media to let (still working ) friends know what you are up to!

4. Visit the art galleries

There are numerous art galleries in Macrossan Street. They feature local artists with works in different styles. Here you can purchase a piece of art to remind you of the fantastic time you had in Port Douglas.

5. Go shopping

A holiday is not complete without shopping in the local markets. Luckily, most of Port Douglas accommodation is situated within walking distance of the local markets. Anzac park is the place to be on Sunday morning, when local traders set up open-air markets to display their wares. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also in plenty. Be sure to carry home with you a few items that are unique to Port Douglas as souvenirs for your friends who were not lucky enough to visit this wonderful region.

There is a certain level of experiencing a place that can only be reached from firsthand experience. No amount of describing can bring Port Douglas to live the way a personal experience with the activities available on the Port can. Visit the Port in person to engage all the senses-touch, smell, sight, hearing and tasting to fully understand what the holiday destination is all about.
