Four Mile Beach — Attraction in Port Douglas

This was a fun beach to come to. We were here in June 2019. One of the amazing things about this beach is the vast length of it. We walked from our hotel each day. It was a 15 minute walk along the beach, but always nice. Crabs were regularly building holes which we had fun watching. In terms of surf, this beach wasn't doing much.

There is a nearby lookout to take in the spectacular scenery from a higher vantage point. Definitely worth a visit when you are in Port Douglas! Here are some photos from our most...
