Sugar Wharf
Set in tropical Far North Queensland, the Sugar Wharf Port Douglas is a venue second to none. Built in 1904 by the Douglas Shire Council, the historic, heritage listed building was once used for the mooring of ships and loading of sugar (Hence the name). Flash forward 75 years and the popular white shed was home to well known diver Ben Cropp and his ‘Shipwreck Museum’.
Today, it’s beautiful white washed walls and views stretching over the Coral Sea and Daintree Mountains creates an unforgettable experience for any event, big or small. The Sugar Wharf is also a great spot to cast a line and do some fishing or just sit back watch the boats come back from their day visiting the Outer Barrier Reef or have a cold drink while watching the sunset.

St Mary's By The Sea
The iconic St Mary's by The Sea chapel is one of the most picturesque churches in the country. However, it's wooden and stained glass interior also holds a vivid history. According to the Douglas Shire Historical Society, the church was blessed and opened on March 6, 1881 on Grant Street. A temporary chapel, later to become the Presbytery, was built in 1878 at an unknown location.Built in 1880 on the hill in Port Douglas, this historic church was relocated to the current site on November 11, 1988. The Church was fully-restored over a long, difficult twelve months. An official re-opening ceremony was held on November 11, 1989. St Mary’s By The Sea is now a non-denominational chapel. Inside, you will find a huge glass altar window offering breathtaking views of the beach, Coral Sea and rainforest clad mountains. You will also find stained glass windows & traditional wooden pews. The church bell can also be ringing on your wedding day.

Beaches
With golden sand stretching as far as the eye can see, crystal clear water lapping gently against the shore, and palm trees swaying in the cool breeze it is easy to lose track of time when walking on Four Mile Beach as it unfolds in a gentle curve along Port Douglas beachfront.
But all that is expected, after all, Port Douglas is a tropical paradise. Four Mile Beach is a local's escape from the daily grind and many walk the shoreline as the sun rises and sets.
For tourists, it is a pleasure to spend days swimming, sunbathing, dozing under the palms, enjoying a magical sunset, or joining locals for an invigorating walk.
Anyone who visits Four Mile Beach will surely find it hard to leave. Tourists make the most of their time splashing in the shallows and playing on the beach, staying long after the sun has set.
