Port Douglas Maps and Orientation

(Port Douglas, Far North Queensland - QLD, Australia)



Aerial view of the coastA popular resort town in Far North Queensland, Port Douglas stands just a short distance to the north of Cairns, part-way between Cooya Beach (north) and Oak Beach (south). Port Douglas serves as a convenient gateway to both the rainforest of the Daintree National Park and the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, and these two tourist attractions are jointly responsible for much of its current popularity.

The population of Port Douglas is slowly growing and there are now around 6,000 residents living here. However, during the peak season, between May and September, the overall population can easily more than double due to the seasonal influx of tourists.
