"Hemingway’s is the triple threat of Port Douglas – a microbrewery, bar and restaurant!. One of the newest kids on the block, Hemingways has quickly earn’t its reputation as being one of the best spots for an ice-cold beverage with stunning surrounds. Located on the Reef Marina, Hemingway’s is the first of its kind in Far North Queensland."

"Hemingway’s has the best set-up on the end of the Marina where sunsets are aplenty and the vibes are always super chilled. As well as seriously good craft beers, they also have a solid casual menu that’s perfect for downing with a schooner. Expect pizzas, fish ‘n’ chips, burgers and lighter bites."

"Fringed by lazy palms, this broad stretch of squeaky sand reaches as far as you can squint. There's a patrolled swimming area in front of the surf life-saving club (with a stinger net in summer) and sun loungers available for hire."

"Swaying palm trees with the high seas in the background make for views of a lifetime at Rex Smeal Park, which is a five-minute walk from Macrossan Street. The sailboats make for a pretty picture as they begin filing past 4 pm every day. Prop up a garden chair or spread out a picnic blanket, bring lots of sunscreens, and pack a picnic basket with tons of food, diet coke, and beer, and let the sun steal the show for a panoramic, unobstructed, orange-hued view across the azure blue of the Coral Sea."

With some elegant waving palm trees, this place is just gorgeous and a free thing to do in Port Douglas during one of the balmy evenings you are sure to experience in far north Queensland.

The gorge is a boulder-strewn valley where sparkling water washes over ancient rocks. It's 3km by road from the visitor centre to a viewpoint and refreshing swimming hole – take care as the currents can be swift. You can walk the 4km but visitors are encouraged to take the shuttle (adult/child/family return $9.80/4.85/24.20, every 15 minutes)."

"This crowd favourite on Macrossan Street is ideal if you’re all about a classic breakfast menu that still tastes scrumptious. You can’t go wrong when you start the day with a mouth-watering meal at Cafe Ziva, and the coffee is always top-notch, too. The decadent 3 stack pancakes with banana, Nutella, and almonds are a popular choice, or you could try the tasty breakfast bruschetta or vegetarian omelette."

"Locals rate open-fronted Euro-chic Ziva for good coffee and breakfasts such as eggs Benedict. Lunch is mostly burgers and toasted sandwiches. Breakfast in Port Douglas"

"One of the newer cafes in town, Choo Choo’s has definitely proven itself to be one of the top spots for a freshly brewed latte and good value breakfast. Located on the lakeside at St. Crispin’s station, guests can enjoy panoramic views in a tranquil atmosphere, 7 days a week. *TIP* On a Sunday you can catch the Bally Hooley steam train to St. Crispin’s station which a great experience for the whole family."

"You’ve probably heard of the Bally Hooley steam train that has passed through Port Douglas for years now – well, this cafe is situated at St. Crispins, which is one of the train’s stops!. So that’s something fun that the kids can look forward to. There’s also a second location at the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, which makes it easy to dine wherever is the most convenient spot for you."

"The kids will adore an early morning venture to Choo Choo’s on St Crispins.
