Just the perfect place to have a cocktail and some delicious
bar food after a day out on the reef. The best spot is on one of the day beds overlooking the Inlet. Yes, a day bed in a bar! Well, you are in the Sub Tropics.

It's just around the corner, yet seems worlds away once you enter. A stylish fitout and vibe with top notch bartenders make you feel like you are in a cocktail lounge in a busting metropolis. The perfect way to end your day with a first class cocktail...or two! My recommendation is to ask the bartender for a suggestion, and let them guide you through some options and try something different.
The owner is a friendly, colourful ex LA film maker, and his wife is a local artist, who's work covers the walls (and is available for sale)

Everything Else
Every Sunday, down on the inlet, you'll find a 'market in paradise', with a beautiful view! Delicious Pineapples grown just up the road, arts and crafts and produce from local artisans.
Tip - visit first up in the morning to beat the crowds and the heat.

Parks & Nature
Just a short drive North, the Mossman Gorge is a great place to experience the world heritage listed rainforest. For a real cultural experience you can take a walk through the rainforest up to the swimming spot with a local indigenous guide. The contrast in scenery between the palm lined sandy Four Mile beach and the lush rainforest just 20 minutes away is quite remarkable.
