PORT DOUGLAS AND CAIRNS NORTHERN BEACHES
Ready to explore? Why not jump on the scenic Captain Cook Highway and head towards the gateway to the World Heritage wonders of Tropical North Queensland: Port Douglas. Located only 50km (approximately a 50 minute drive from Trinity Beach), Port Douglas is an intimate and relaxed town where food, wine, arts and culture are appreciated. The friendly locals are only too happy to include visitors whether it’s sharing their favourite coffee stops and fishing spots or playing 18 holes on a world-class golf course.
Want to make a day of it? Why not stop in at the string of sleep seaside villages dotting Cairns’ Northern Beaches? From Trinity you’ll head to Kewarra Beach, followed by Clifton Beach and of course, the iconic Palm Cove. Wander along the esplanade, enjoy a coffee and a sunrise or hire a couple of paddleboards and adventure out to Double Island.
The world is your oyster – just remember to pack your swimmers, sunscreen and a sense of adventure!

PARONELLA PARK AND MISSION BEACH
Ever wanted to step into a fairytale? Paronella Park comes pretty close! Jose Pareonella’s dream was to build a castle. Arriving in Australia from Catalonia, Spain in 1913, Jose worked in the sugar industry before eventually buying 5 hectares of land in Mena Creek. There, he and his wife ended up building a castle, picnic area, tennis courts, bridges, a tunnel and grounds – all by hand! They opened the park to the public in 1935 and hosted soirees, balls and picnic galas. Paronella Park was THE place to be! And now it is open to the public everyday, to showcase the incredible building feats and vision of Jose Paronella.
Tickets are valid for re-entry over a 2 year period and if you have the option, we highly recommend checking out the nightshow!
A further 40 minutes south, you’ll find the seaside village hamlets of Mission beach: South Mission Beach, Wongaling Beach, North Mission Beach and Bingil Bay. Nature takes centre stage at Mission Beach with its long unspoilt beaches, deserted islands and white-water rivers fringed by rainforest. There are no crowds at this seductive and easy going destination which is perfect for relaxation or discovering adrenalin pumping outdoor activities. Mission Beach also happens to be one of the best places to spot a Cassowary in the wild, so keep an eye out!
