Starting from the end of the Esplanade off Macrossan Street, this return walk explores the Four Mile Beach of Port Douglas, passing by multiple golf clubs and hotels along the way. This exceptionally scenic beach features a relatively hard sand that allows you to run comfortably on it. In fact, this is where the Great Barrier Reef Marathon starts. If you’re here for the ocean and the views on the other hand, prepared to be dazzled by the panoramic easterly views that get even more impressive at sunset. Don’t forget the swim in the cool waters of the Pacific as you enjoy the amazing coastal scenery. You can book a beach-ready wheelchair for free from 19 Macrossan Street. Call them beforehand to make sure the ‘Freewheeler’ is not booked. Dogs are allowed on this long stretch of a beach as well. Swim in the designated area marked with nets to avoid getting stung by jellyfish and man o' war. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
