Four Mile Beach

On one side of Port Douglas is the stunning Four Mile Beach. Unsurprisingly, the beach runs for 4 miles along the headland and is a fabulous place to relax or go for a walk. Perhaps the kids can build a sandcastle whilst you catch up on that trashy holiday novel.

If you're lucky you may see a celebrity or two coming out of the surf in the morning....

This is "The Beach" of Port Douglas. From the main Port Douglas district, you can walk to the beach in under 5 minutes and then continue to walk along the sandy beach for hours under the tropical sun.

Four Mile Beach begins at the northern rocky headland great for kids to explore and play with the small crabs that make the beach their home. Then the four miles of beach unfold in a gentle curve that continues as far as the eye can see, without a hint of development. In fact, the accommodation and houses are neatly hidden behind the swaying palms.
