many accommodation properties which offer beachfront
accommodation. This area
is very popular, and certainly one worth considering if you enjoy ocean views
and soft breezy waves. Oak Beach is another popular beach accommodation destination
just south of Port Douglas, as is Newell Beach, and Thala Beach. These beaches
