Absolutely nothing compares to a beach celebration at one of the legendary beaches surrounding Port Douglas and the Daintree. Here you have the Coral Sea in the background, sunlight sparkling like diamonds off the water and fresh sea breezes kissing your faces. Opposite the azure ocean water is the gentle swaying palm trees with their leaves tinkling like champagne glasses and home to singing birdlife that add that extra magical touch.
