Fishing

Port Douglas is a perfect destination for those who want to escape from the pressures, hustle and bustle of everyday life. This first-rated spot is a favorite location of numerous tourists who want to relax in luxury amongst the village's astonishing scenery. Port Douglas lies in a little peninsula covered by the Dixon Inlet, an estuary and the Four Mile Beach. Since this town is surrounded by water, Port Douglas is an ideal area for people who want to go fishing.

There are countless fishing options in Port Douglas and the Anzac Park is on the top of the list. The park, which is also referred to as The Old Stinger Enclosure, has a man-made wall that protects the beach from box jellyfish.  The site behind the wall has become parkland where families often spend time, because it is such a pleasant child family area. On the other hand, the rocky border of the Anzac Park is always visited by fishermen and those who are fond of baitfishing. If you do not have any luck in fishing, the beautiful sights of the Daintree Range and the Thornton's Peak from the Park can compliment your efforts in traveling to this area.

Other fishing spots in the Port Douglas are the Dixon Inlet where barramundi, fingermark and jacks thrive after a strong rainfall along with the Ben Cropps Museum's little wharf where baitfishing is popular.
