I took a ride into town with my sister and bil. They went to the doctors, I went to the beach. This is Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas. During WWII planes landed on this beach. It is so long and wide and flat. But its only since the advent of 80s tourism that it's become a good place for people watching. It's your licorice all-sorts in the sun.

#4 is a fantastic shot of the boards and surfers! itch4travel · 2009-08-12: 09:40

The photo of the tourists cracks me up - stereotypes, for sure! MelanieO · 2009-08-13: 00:30
