For sensational, breathtaking views of the Coral Sea and Four-Mile Beach, head to Trinity Bay lookout at the cul-de-sac of Island Point Road. Watch the Port Douglas coastline curve slightly as the confluence of the sand and sea makes for a great picture."

"Head up to Flagstaff Hill for sensational views over Four Mile Beach and the Coral Sea. Drive or walk up via Wharf St, or there's a walking path leading up from the north end of Four Mile Beach."

"Follow the path that winds around Rex Smeal Park and you will come across another piece of Port Douglas history: St Mary’s By the Sea. One of the oldest buildings in Port Douglas, St Mary’s By the Sea is an absolutely gorgeous church with a distinctive window overlooking the ocean. St Mary’s By the Sea was built in 1914 and echoes the pre-modern era before Port Douglas became a tourist destination."

This historic, fully restored church was built in 1913-14 and it features a jaw-dropping church bell, beautiful, traditional wooden pews, and kaleidoscopic stained glass windows."

"Worth a peek inside (when it’s not overflowing with wedding parties), this quaint, nondenominational, white timber church was built in 1880, rebuilt after a cyclone in 1911 and restored in 1989."

"The only national park campground close to Cape Trib, Noah Beach is heavily subscribed over the dry season and it's mandatory to prebook anyway. There are 15 sites near the beach at the mouth of Noah Creek, with..."

"Swaying palm trees with the high seas in the background make for views of a lifetime at Rex Smeal Park, which is a five-minute walk from Macrossan Street. The sailboats make for a pretty picture as they begin filing past 4 pm every day. Prop up a garden chair or spread out a picnic blanket, bring lots of sunscreens, and pack a picnic basket with tons of food, diet coke, and beer, and let the sun steal the show for a panoramic, unobstructed, orange-hued view across the azure blue of the Coral Sea."

"Rex Smeal Park is a very picturesque park located at the end of Port Douglas. With some elegant waving palm trees, this place is just gorgeous and a free thing to do in Port Douglas during one of the balmy evenings you are sure to experience in far north Queensland. With plenty of grass and a small playground, Rex Smeal Park is a gathering place for people at the end of the day to watch the sunset."

The gorgeous headland, Anzac Park, is the perfect place to relax on the Port Douglas waterfront and watch sweeping views of the Coral Sea and the cruise boats, even as palm trees sway musically in the background. Dedicated to the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps), the park also allows views of the rolling mountains of Mount Lewis and Spurgeon National Parks in the west, mangroves on the Daintree River, and the Sugar Wharf Jetty."

"One of the best things to do at night in Port Douglas doesn’t cost a single cent. Stroll down to Anzac Park and along the palm tree-lined waterfront to see the spectacular Port Douglas sunset from the land. It’s an incredible sight and a perfect photo opportunity."

"A post shared by Senator Nita Green (@nitagreenqld) on Jan 5, 2019 at 8:09pm PST. Port Douglas from above is an entirely different, majestic world. See this gorgeous world from the easily accessible Flagstaff Hill Lighthouse, the city’s ultimate viewing point where you can see the wonderful confluence of the rainforest, the sandy beaches, and the varied blues of the Coral Sea."

"Bel Cibo, an Italian restaurant serves great food with a view over Macrossan Street. Located on the second floor of the Saltwater building you can look down and watch the world go by. Unfortunately due to a leak in an apartment above Bel Cibo, it is closed until further notice while they repair the restaurant."
