Mango Jam - family friendly
by sue_stone about Mango Jam
One evening in Port Douglas we headed to Mango Jam for dinner. We were attracted to the place because of its colourful décor and alfresco dining. Mango Jam specialises in Gourmet Wood fired pizzas, though they also serve a selection of pastas, salads, grills and more.
It is a great place for all the family as they are very welcoming of kids and have a children's menu too. They also do take away, and home delivery to home and hotels in the area. When we dined there we ordered a selection of pizza's to share. They were pretty good - not the best ever - but hit the spot, and went well with a glass or two of Aussie shiraz.
Visit the great Barrier Reef

We spent the day at the reef with Quicksilver. They pick you up from your hotel, and it includes the trip out to the reef(11/2 hours), and scrumptious lunch and the snorkelling. You can dive if you hold the licences or they do train on board. There was a helicoptor ride over the reef which we did, and I would highly recommend it.You book the helicoptor on the Quicksiver boat.
St Mary's Church
by stevezero
The delightful church of St Mary's by the Sea, is situated on the foreshore of Port Douglas.
The beatiful wooden church was previously sited on a hillside nearby, but was dismantled, restored, and rebuilt on its present site in 1989.
Heaven on Earth

"I found my little piece of Paradise!"
If you want to find you own little paradise, visit Port Douglas and its surrounding areas. It is a perfect holiday destination. Where else can you find the Great Barrier Reef, some of the oldest rainforests in the world and some fantastic weather to go with it. It is a wonderfully relaxing holiday and a perfect place to chill out!!The beer is cold, the prawns are delicious and the atmosphere is superb!!! What are you waiting for ?
"Great little restaurants and cafes."
Port Douglas main street is filled with fantastic shopping and the best restaurants!!! Chill over a great bottle of Australian white or red wine, of a icy cold beer. Prawns and seafood are plentiful and the amosphere is great. Port Douglas in my opinion is a great place to have your honeymoon, or a romantic trip with a partner. I personally dont think that it is a family holiday destination. Cairns would be more suitable for the family holiday.
