Douglas Bay
Guide: From Four Mile Beach to Dickson’s Inlet, there are endless stretches of golden sand. Whether you want to swim in the blue waves, sunbathe, dive to explore the underwater world, or go fishing by sailing out to sea, you could easily spend the whole day; you can even take a leisurely stroll along the beach while listening to the sound of the waves crashing.
