Our family was able to walk to the Beach Shack from our rented holiday home. The atmosphere was unique and the prices reasonable. The food was fine but not extraordinary. A good place when you don't want to cook.

This place has fun & relaxed atmosphere. The place was great to sit and enjoy a great meal, with a few drinks. When the locals eat there you know it's worth a visit or two. Went back later in the week for the pizzas, and was equally impressed

We were recommended the restaurant by the Sea Temple concierge. We went along and were probably a bit late. This made it hard to get our order placed. Then one of the orders (a pizza) was forgotten by the staff so they had to rush and remake it while everyone else ate. Unfortunately when it did come out they got... More

I had fish so deliciously prepared I sought out the chef to compliment him. The atmophere is casual and fun - but the meal is 5 star.

We were staying a few kilometers outside of the main part of Port Douglas at the Southern end of 4 mile beach. Nearby dining options are pretty limited so we thought we would give this place a try. So glad we did. It's got a lovely ambience and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was much better than... More

The pizzas and dishes from the menu were all yummy and beautifully presented. We returned a few times for the food and the sand on the ground which our toddler was crazy about! Go on a less busy evening or go for early dinner to avoid the crowd.
