1. Hike up Flagstaff Hill


What is it? Port Douglas’ most popular walking trail and lookout point for panoramic views of Four Mile Beach, the Daintree Rainforest and the Coral Sea.
Why go? If you’re looking for a postcard-worthy picture, look no further than Flagstaff Hill. It’s an easy 1.5-kilometre walk from the north end of Four Mile Beach to Trinity Bay Lookout, where you’ll take in stunning views of Four Mile Beach, the Daintree Rainforest and the Coral Sea. The trail winds back through bushland to the coconut-fringed shores of Rex Smeal Park, where you can rest your legs under the shade of fig trees.
Time Out tip: Start your hike early in the day, as the track has limited shade so can get very hot.
