What makes this road special

Hugging the coastline between Cairns and Port Douglas, the Captain Cook Highway is a spectacular tropical drive. The road is wedged between the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics rainforest and the sparkling waters of the Great Barrier Reef. It features gentle curves and plenty of scenic lookouts to take in the azure ocean and deserted beaches.
