THALA BEACH NATURAL RESERVE

On the drive between Cairns and Port Douglas you’ll find the idyllic coastal eco-retreat, Thala Beach Nature Reserve. The retreat undoubtedly is most well-known for its coconut plantation, with its many neat lines of coconut trees creating a truly grand entrance to the eco-lodge which calls the place home. If you’re not staying overnight in one of the lodge’s low-impact bungalows, a sunset dinner on the veranda at Osprey’s Restaurant, the lodge’s main restaurant, should certainly be on the menu.
