What to do In Port Douglas? Swimming in Port Douglas is all about the timing. As with most swimming in far north Queensland. The stingers come into the shore around November to March which is not ideal for swimming outside the stinger nets.
Further up towards the town is where the stinger net is located and has lifeguards which is where most of the crowds head. But if you are kayaking or going for a run then anywhere is fair game.
Our kids loved riding their bikes on the beach as the sand is hard and firm.
