There, where the Great Barrier Reef meets majestic tropical forest, you will find Port Douglas. Peacefully moored in the Coral Sea, a few miles north of Cairns, this little-known corner of paradise has everything to please: good restaurants, pleasant cafés, immense fine-sand beaches and dazzling sunshine all year round. Add to this the silent, multicoloured spectacle of underwater life and the captivating scents of flora entwined in the Daintree Rainforest, and you will understand why Port Douglas charms lovers of great waves, diving and nature. Comfortable and tranquil, Port Douglas is also a kingdom for bons vivants: lulled by the sound of the waves, they savour crab and lobster amidst the pleasant setting of a waterfront restaurant. A perfect environment for combining a relaxed or adventurous holiday with learning English, Port Douglas and its hidden treasures are well worth stopping for. Those who have made the detour are unanimous in saying that they’ve seen nothing more beautiful in Australia. Decide for yourself!
