Port Douglas Australia Travel
If you're planning a trip to Australia, you owe it to yourself to visit the Port Douglas area. It's a beautiful coastal city with plenty to see and do and has a tropical island 'up all night' atmosphere. In Port Douglas, hotels are affordably priced and offer beautiful resorts and even apartments for those wishing to stay for an extended vacation. One point of interest includes the Port Douglas Shipwreck Museum, which offers visitors a glimpse into the past and is a great family friendly tour to take.
There's also plenty of shopping and if you're interested, be sure to visit the Marcrossan Street area. Here you'll find some beautiful pieces that make great keepsakes. There are many tourist-friendly shops that offer antiques and one of a kind gifts. The restaurants are plentiful, as well. Port Douglas is a versatile city that offers something for everyone.
Your Port Douglas accommodation options offer great rates, whether you're looking for a four-star facility, complete with spas and massages, to the smaller and more personable cottages that are ideal for families. Your choices are endless and you'll find yourself hesitant to leave when the time comes. Most agree the Four Mile Beach area is what draws them back. The beautiful blues and greens that shade the beaches with mountains serving as the backdrop, white sands and deep greenery come together for a stunning view. Although small in its number of residents, each welcomes tourists and vacationers and are eager to tell the story of their hometown. The peak vacation season runs from mid-May through September, although it's a perfect destination anytime of the year. Its average temperature is 82 degrees which makes it perfect for long days outdoors taking in the atmosphere or sunning on the beaches.
Be sure to visit the Great Barrier Reef. World famous and nothing short of inspirational, it's what you take with you the rest of your days. If you time your visit for the end of May, you'll be able to witness the Port Douglas Carnivale, complete with parades, shopping and even a music festival. If, however, you prefer October, there's yet another festival. Named the Footprints Music Festival, this attraction draws thousands of visitors each year. If there's time, be sure to visit the fascinating Daintree Rainforest. You'll never look at a forest the same way. With so much to do and so many beautiful accommodations, you just can't go wrong when you choose some of Port Douglas hotels.
