The Beach is a little piece of Heaven. We walked most Mornings & great for the Fury kids as well. More

There are stingers and croc danger warning signs at this beach there is a small swimming zone only due to rips. Nice to walk along but beach not cleaned for people to sit at you have to clear your patch in the sand from the sea weed left when the tide goes out. More

Everything, the beach, the long walks, the people, the nature of it. Palm trees, white sand, and a stunning view with a great Surf Club restaurant on the tip of it... Port Douglas Surf Club, where you can unwind with a nice drink or a great meal and soak up the sea breeze :) More

Martinique is only around 100 metres from the top end of the beach which as the name suggests is vast. A protected area for swimming, playing or just splashing around is provided when the stingers are in season or you can walk literally for miles in the shallow surf if that's your thing. More

A great beach for a long walk, bike ride, kite surfing, or landing an aircraft*. Not good for swimming - stingers will ruin your holiday, and the fine dark sand will ruin your swimwear. Save the swimming for your hotel pool. *Kingsford Smith landed there in the 1920s. More

We visited PD in February so there was only a very small 'safe zone' where you could go into the sea from four mile beach which was a little disappointing. Nevertheless, it is a nice beach but it was almost deserted when we were there - i bet its a different place altogether in the high season! More

Nice for an afternoon or morning stroll. Can get a bit of a "rip" in the water but its a patrolled beach so you'll be in safe hands! More

Like other reviewers I was disappointed. Mind it was probably because of the rain, dark clouds and debris from the previous days storms. I like beaches that you can swim in the sea safely. I was slightly perturbed by the signs on the beach warning of crocs and stingers in the sea! I didnt realise that that most of the... More

I love the beach but you really need to pick when you visit. The Man of Wars are quite dangerous and it is imperative to check before you visit and certainly before you start swimming at the beaches. More
