The Douglas Shire is a unique environment and is renowned nationally and internationally as a premier tourism destination. The region attracts thousands of domestic and international visitors each year and is the only place in the world where two World Heritage-listed areas meet, the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest.
The region also boasts some of the most beautiful parks and beaches in Queensland, with a swimming enclosure provided at Four Mile beach during marine stinger season – typically from November to May (subject to seasonal variability).
