Tall coconut palms line the edge of Four Mile Beach at Port Douglas in far north Queensland. The beach begins at the base of Island Point and heads south for four miles to the mouth of the Mowbray River. Although resorts and residential blocks line the beach front, there are no high rises and the view to the rainforest clad mountains is unspoiled. In mid-winter, the beach is popular with both walkers and windsurfers, and a few hardy souls even brave the cool water for a swim.

The first photo just takes your breath away it is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
And that was on a cloudy day. When the sky is clear the water is a stunning aquamarine colour. Glad you enjoyed this photo.
One of my favourite places in Oz. We stayed in the YH there near that beach and often walked along it in to the town. I will never forget Port Douglas (well, I hope I won’t) 😀
Did you take the first photo from the top of the hill where there is a toposcope?
It is a gorgeous beach for walking on. Yes, we took the photo from Flagstaff Hill. Isn’t the view amazing.
Astonishing. You get a similar view from Byron lighthouse over a long curving beach. Let’s face it you are not short of long beaches in Australia 😉
We are very fortunate when it comes to glorious beaches, that’s true.
I do love white sand! This looks a particularly gorgeous place.
And there are vast amounts of white sand here. At low tide the beach is more than 200 metres wide. It’s a long way to walk for a swim!

I’ll just stay here and stare at those gorgeous pics thanks Carol! So relaxing and gorgeous 🙂
Feel free to hang out for a while. It is a lovely place to spend some time.
What a lovely beach – and it looks perfect for a l-o-n-g walk.
We had several long walks on this beach.
Ahhhhh, glorious! 😀
Isn’t it! And for those of us who live 200 km or more from the beach, it’s a real treat to spend a week here.
