Bramston Beach House

A travel destination that primarily earned its fame from the then abundant supply of gold in its area, the Port Douglas is in fact a national treasure whichever way you look at it. In the year 1877, a lot of people have started coming in to this once quiet town and a big part of its population have been in search for gold. Once the said gold mines ran out of these precious metals, people have started leaving and the tropical cyclone that hit its area in the year 1911 only aggravated the situation. It took a couple of decades for the town to restore its form and since then, people have started to see that the real gems of this place are the untouched beaches and lush rainforests than make up its long stretch.

The Four Mile Beach is the most often visited among the beaches in Port Douglas. It is known for its very fine sand that is golden in colour, almost shining like gold dust when touched by the sun’s rays. A lot of tourists are drawn to this beach, in fact a number of Hollywood movies have been shot in this location because of its picturesque scenery. The verdant pine trees that line up the shore create a beautiful contrast against the blue tones of the Coral Sea, providing a breathtaking view while dining al fresco on the shoreline. Aside from horseback riding and motor bike racing, a lot of visitors go to the southern tip of the beach to experience kitesurfing, which is the second most popular activity here next to diving and snorkeling of course. The beach is very close to the Great Barrier Reef so there are several boat trips that depart from this side of the island to get to one of the world’s most acclaimed nature attractions. Guided tours can also be arranged to explore the wilderness in the neighboring Daintree National Park where Cape Tribulation, another commendable tourist destination, is situated.

Aside from these, visiting tourists can also enjoy shopping in the several boutiques in the coast of the beach. To get a taste of the tropics, several gourmet restaurants that serve both local and international cuisine await the visitors. A fully developed golf course is also made available for those who’d like to tee up while on vacation. These advancements have been kept minimal to preserve the natural beauty of the place but just enough to accommodate the needs of the tourists.

The serene atmosphere that emanates from this place is what makes the visitors re-visit and the fact that it is just an hour away from Cairns makes it the ideal go-to destination. In addition to that, getting to Port Douglas itself can be considered a side trip itself since the Captain Cook Highway is named as one of the most scenic toll roads in the whole of Australia.
