It's Peak Season In Port Douglas
If you’re in the south of Australia wishing that the warm temperatures and sunny climes of summer would return, maybe you should pack your bags and head north to Port Douglas? Screw it – you definitely should.
Port Douglas is now in peak season, which means it’s the best time to hit the beach, swim in the blue ocean and enjoy the balmy weather in the evening. The threatening marine stingers (jellyfish) don’t populate the waters between June and October as the water’s too cold for them, but it’s warm enough for us humans, and at this time of year, safe enough too.
During this period, Port Douglas sees temperatures between 19 and 26 degrees Celsius, with clear, blue skies that make it known as the dry season. The calmer weather compared to summer makes it ideal for evenings out, but maybe bring a light second layer of clothing in case it gets chilly.
During winter and spring in Port Douglas, you can explore the Daintree Rainforest without getting caught in a tropical storm, dive off of a boat into the Great Barrier Reef, and browse the Sunday market for local fruit and vegetables. When the day’s activity makes you hungry, there are cuisine experiences fit for a king in Port Douglas, including European, Australia, Mediterranean and Asian flavours, many served al fresco to enjoy the warm weather.
Accommodation also welcomes peak season to Port Douglas. Hostels, campsites and rented villas come alive with the buzz of visitors, perhaps none more so than United Backpackers Port Douglas.
