About Port Douglas
Port Douglas is a small town (year-round population around 3500 people in 2016). It is a very popular tourist, beach and reef destination, with the peak season being during dry season from May through September. It largely, although not exclusively, caters for family holidaymakers and offers higher-end resort stays to couples and families. There are some backpacker hostels but far fewer than in Cairns. Port Douglas maintains a village feel: the palm trees are taller than the buildings and you can meander through the town to do some shopping, or enjoy a wide variety of cafes, pubs, restaurants and bars, ranging from those offering excellent value to world-class cuisine. Port Douglas is an ideal base for visits to theGreat Barrier Reefor to the Daintree Rainforest, withCape Tribulationa 90-m
