Four Mile Beach is always stunning but on the day we visited the beach was littered with weed and driftwood. There is a netted area to swim which is patrolled by surf lifesavers. The water was so warm!! Almost bath like.

Totally unspoilt beautiful beach. We couldn’t swim because it was red flagged but enjoyed walking along the pristine waters edge. Slightly freaked by crocodile warnings along path to beach but glad they were there. We would’ve waded through high tide river flow otherwise. Note to self - check high/low tide before planning to walk to Port Douglas along the beach. Absolutely glorious view along the bay. Worth the effort definitely.

We went for a walk one evening before dinner with my husband and toddler ho loved walking along the beach. It wasn’t very crowded at all and lots of people relaxing and walking dogs or doing yoga. Shame we didn’t make it to the beach again in the day but would definitely recommend. We visited in December 2019

We’ve visited and swum at Four Mile Beach many times over the years, but I couldn’t believe the umbrellas and deck hairs that have been jammed onto the beach of the netted swimming area! It effectively limited you to squeezing in between two adjacent ‘units’ (with another immediately behind you). And to add insult to injury, the private operator was charging $40! It was like the worst of Europe, where they jam in squadrons of chairs. The great tradition in Australia is to lay your towels down on the sand (it is comfortable for most Aussies), maybe with an umbrella or cabana these days. I felt sorry for the overseas tourists who sat down and got ambushed by the private operator. The water was absolutely beautiful the day we were there (mid-November). The weather was great, but please, please take away those awful plastic chairs so we can have our beach back.
