Getting Out & About In Port Douglas
Port Douglas may be a small town, but it certainly delivers when it comes to beauty and things to do, with the infamous Four Mile Beach regularly being voted as one of Australia’s best. Most customers hiring a car in Port Douglas are off to explore the coast and the Great Barrier Reef or are adventuring into the Tropical North and up to Cape Tribulation - SIXT can help you with both!
Pick up your hire car from our location in the centre of Port Douglas, just off the pedestrianised Macrossan Street. Here you will find plenty of shops and can indulge in some retail therapy. However, once you’re behind the wheel, some of the nation’s best natural beauty awaits you. It’s only a 10 minute drive out of town to Captain Cook Highway, which you’ll need if you’re heading north up to the cape and the rainforest.
Alternatively, if you’re off to explore Agincourt Reef, you are likely going to want to follow the coast south, along the Great Barrier Reef Drive. This is one of the most scenic and stunning drives in the country, and should be a ‘thing to do’ in its own right. However, if you follow this winding road south for about 35 minutes, you’ll arrive in Palm Cove, which is a beautiful beach and small town. Another 30 mins south you'll get to Cairns where many of the boats and tours leave for the reef.
Things to see and do with a car rental in Port Douglas
Port Douglas may be small, but you’ll be surprised at just how much there is to see and do in town and throughout northern Queensland. If you love a bit of retail therapy, the main shopping area and its boutique stores are on Macrossan Street – just near where you pick up your rental.
Four Mile Beach is a real must-visit, as this unspoiled stretch of coastline is regularly voted as one of Australia’s best. Head up in the late afternoon and find out why the sunsets there are so famous. You can also take a quick drive up Flagstaff Hill to see Four Mile Beach from a different angle and enjoy even more epic views of the region.
The town’s coastal location makes it a great spot from which to explore the ocean, and the nearby Agincourt Reef is definitely one of those unmissable spots. As well as seeing wildlife beneath the waves, you can make your way to the Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas, which gives you a glimpse at some of Australia’s most iconic and fascinating species.
You’re also just an hour away from Cairns and the Cairns airport heading south, and an hour from the Daintree Rainforest heading north, so you’ll be spoiled for choice for things to do no matter where you go!
Please note that you are not allowed to drive to Cooktown via the coast road with your SIXT car rental.
