Things to do at Four Mile Beach
Four Mile Beach is one of Port Douglas’s most stunning attractions, a glorious stretch of palm-lined beach that could easily take the crown as Australia’s most pristine. Funnily enough, Four Mile Beach isn’t actually four miles long – it’s four kilometres long – it was just named after a local family that happened to have the name “Fourmile”!
But enough with the trivia, you’re here to find out what’s so good about this beach and why you’re going to have an unforgettable time when you get there.
So, without further procrastination, here are some awesome activities to do at Four Mile Beach.

It’s a water sports paradise!
A beach as beautiful as Four Mile should and most certainly does play host to a huge range of water sports that allow you to get an incredible glimpse of the beach and sea life. Four Mile Beach is nestled in between the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, so you know it’s an awe-inspiring spot for standup paddleboarding in the morning and kite surfing in the afternoon!
You may even spot some of the Reef’s most famous inhabitants as you glide across the water, think dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays and all kinds of vibrant fish species.
