It's easy to reach Cairns, the gateway to the picture perfect town of Port Douglas . Flying to the country is convenient and the journey pays off with the one hour coastal drive that you take for reaching Port Douglas from the Cairns International Airport. The Coastal Drive is an experience in itself and is just the path to the vast store house of Port Douglas beauty that is left for you to discover. The long stretch of shining metallic road introduces you with the world famous Great Barrier Reef, Coral Sea and rainforests. The place is on of its kind. With its awesome natural beauty, Port Douglas has a rich history to narrate and an equally interesting local culture to present us with. The Coastal Drive to Port Douglas leads you right in the arms of two spectacular sites in Port Douglas. One is known by the name of the Great Barrier Reef with a rich collection of 1500 or more fishes in various shapes and sizes. The underwater extravaganza portrayed by the different colored corals is a great sight to relish. On reaching Port Douglas you can go snorkeling and diving to explore the treasure trove of the coral reef. The other one is that of the Daintree Rainforests which are renowned to be the world's oldest rainforests and hence are an integral part of the heritage of Port Douglas.
