Port Douglas Sugar Wharf

The sugar wharf is one of Port Douglas most Historical and Iconic locations.As far as Port Douglas Photography goes it would have to rank in the most photographed places in town.

The Sugar Wharf was once used for shipping sugar around Australia. Trains to the sugar mill, located in Mossman, were connected to the wharf. When the first road to Cairns was built in 1958, boats ceased to be used to ship sugar. Now, with its whitewashed walls and stunning views of the inlet, the Sugar Wharf is one of the most loved local landmarks.Before its recent restoration the sugar wharf was a maritime shipwreck museum.

Its a great place to relax and watch the boats come and go from the Great Barrier reef and the Port Douglas Reef Marina. At the opening of the Dickson Inlet, rolling mountains in the background , coral sea and coconut palms.

Since its restoration the Sugar Wharf is largely used for Port Douglas Weddings and Events.Both ceremonies and receptions can be catered here.Port douglas Sugar Wharf has a huge deck and an equally large indoor area.
