The sunset views from Rex Smeal Park don't get much better. The perfectly lined palm trees along the water’s edge create a stunning tropical backdrop, with the ocean and mountain ranges stretching out in the distance. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky lights up in golden hues and soft pink pastels, while cruise boats and sailing yachts drift past from the nearby harbour, making for a picture perfect scene.

Rex Smeal Park is one of the most popular sunset spots in Port Douglas and you'll find plenty of people coming here to enjoy a picnic and soak in the incredible views. This spot is pure magic at golden hour and is definitely worth checking out during your time in Port Douglas.
