Why choose Port Douglas?

In this blog I want to talk about why you should choose Port Douglas as the destination for your wedding or event. Firstly a few key bullet points – 
  • It’s beautiful
  • It’s stunning
  • Did I mention it’s beautiful? ​
​Port Douglas is located in tropical north Queensland, approximately 70km north of Cairns. The peak tourism season is typically from May through to September, however Christmas and New Year can also see an influx of visitors. 

One of the main reasons people love Port Douglas is its climate, hot summers and warm winters. This was definitely a deciding factor for me when I choose to move here from the chilly UK. Though the summer season is also the wet season, seeing monsoonal rains, high humidity and potential cyclones typically from January through to March/April. But with mostly guaranteed sunny days for 8-9 months out of the year what’s not to love!? Average daily temps sit between 25-30 degrees, dropping down to the high teens at night during the winter months. Perfect weather for a wedding!

One of Port Douglas’s main attractions is its beautiful beach!
Four Mile beach stretches the length of the protruding headland that makes up Port Douglas. This beautiful, sandy, palm tree lined stretch of beach is great for lots of activities – 
  • Sunbathing, swimming* & relaxing
  • Walking (dogs allowed) 
  • Bike Riding
  • Kite Boarding/Surfing (southern end of the beach) ​
Along with the above it also provides a stunning back drop for a wedding ceremony, a beautiful photo location or special spot to “pop the question”.
​

Four Mile Beach is only a five minute walk away from the main street of Port Douglas and many of the hotels/resorts are within walking distance from beach access. Unspoilt by any man-made structures this picturesque coastline makes the list of “Australia’s Best Beaches” every year.
​

It’s easy to see why so many people visit Port Douglas, whether it’s just for a relaxing holiday or to make memories to last a life time saying “I Do” to the one they love!
