10 Reasons to Visit Port Douglas This Winter<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s summer all year round in sunny Port Douglas, and despite the tropical climate, winter takes the cake for the most enjoyable season of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather be basking in the warmth during this typically chilly time, our team at Pools has you covered. We know where we\u2019d rather be!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunny Days<\/h3>\n

The heavenly days during winter are reason enough to visit paradise in FNQ. The Dry Season is known for its consistent summer warmth without rain and humidity, which makes each day as perfect as the next. Make the most of the sunshine and spend your days swimming at Pools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideal Swimming Conditions<\/h3>\n

While you may get sunny winters elsewhere, being able to jump into the ocean during these months is something special. With refreshing water temperatures and no stingers in the sea, you won\u2019t go wrong with Great Barrier Reef adventures and days at the beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recharge Your Batteries<\/h3>\n

Give yourself a break! We\u2019ve reached the half way mark for 2018, so an escape mid-way through the work or school year will well and truly be on the cards. Spend your days perched up under a palm tree on Fourmile Beach and watch the world go by.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whale Season<\/h3>\n

This is your chance to experience majestic whales migrating from the south in Port Douglas. When visiting the reef, you\u2019re likely to come across some singing Humpbacks or dancing Minke Whales whose beauty will leave you in awe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re travelling with Silversonic, you may get to jump in and swim alongside the ancient mammals.<\/span><\/p>\n
