The town of Port Douglas was founded in 1877 when gold was found nearby, and was a booming town of 12,000 people during the gold period, but gradually dwindled to a small fishing village in a magnificent location. In the 1980’s the town became a tourist destination when Christopher Skase financed the world class Sheraton Mirage and Marina Mirage.
The accommodation in Port Douglas is fairly unique compared to most of the Queensland coast because the buildings there aren’t allowed to be higher than the tallest palm tree. The atmosphere is laid back with a sophisticated feel whether you choose to relax on Four Mile Beach, shop in specialty shops that are world class, or participate in one of the many activities available
You can try kitesurfing, snorkelling, diving, scenic flights, Barrier Reef cruises and rainforest trips. Port Douglas is also well known for its five star resorts, golf courses and many restaurants, so you are sure to have a fantastic honeymoon there with so many things to do.
