Port Douglas' most popular trail

The Flagstaff Hill walking trail is the only one in the township.

Once you climb the stairs you will have the best views of the beach and the Coral Sea. On the way back, after a sweaty walk, cool off with a mango smoothie at OTZ Café and enjoy the turquoise waters and white sands that line the beach.
