Northern Beaches

Discover palm-fringed shores, tropical rainforests on the shores of white sandy beaches and colourful reefs just off the coastline. Queensland’s northern beaches offer a true tropical paradise, where snorkelling, diving, sunbathing, swimming, water-based activities and simple relaxation are all part of a days itinerary.

Visit the picturesque Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas, where a backdrop of swaying coconut palm trees blend with a resort and spa town, popular amongst celebrities. Head further north and discover Cape Tribulation and the Daintree, the only place in the world where two World Heritage areas meet (the rainforest and the reef). Palm Cove combines the charm of a seaside village with a resort-style luxury and multi-award winning spas. Other northern beaches of Machans, Holloways, Yorkeys Knob, Trinity, Palm Cove and Ellis Beach are popular for their laid-back feel, and are quiet, picturesque getaways with the opportunity to mingle with the locals.

Discover absolute natural pristine beauty with untouched coastlines, secluded beaches and private coves, as well as a myriad of Great Barrier Reef islands and sandy cays to choose from. Find yourself alone on a deserted sandy cay for the day, packed only with a mouth-watering picnic lunch or pamper yourself with beachside resort spas. Its all part of your Queensland beach lifestyle experience.
