Why it's worth checking out
Four Mile Beach stretches along the coast at Port Douglas, one of tropical Far North Queensland's most beautiful and celebrated destinations near Cairns. A 4.6 rating from 71 reviews marks it as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is a stunning, palm-fringed tropical beach — a long, gorgeous stretch of golden sand backed by lush greenery, a genuine favourite for a swim, a walk along the sand or simply soaking up the postcard Port Douglas scenery. It's an unforgettable, free outing.
Beaches in the tropical north have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations (including marine stingers at certain times of year), so check current details and any advisories, and swim between the flags where patrolled. Bring sun protection, water and take care in the water.
