Oak Beach is a serene coastal town in the Shire of Douglas, Queensland, offering breathtaking views of the Coral Sea. The locality features stunning beaches, including Pebbly Beach and Oak Beach itself, with an inner coral reef nearby. The area is surrounded by sugarcane fields to the west and offers a mix of residential and rural environments. The Captain Cook Highway passes through nearby areas but does not directly go through the town.
With a small population of just over 180 people according to the 2021 census, Oak Beach provides a tranquil getaway from bustling city life. However, it lacks local schools, with the nearest educational institutions located in Port Douglas and Mossman.
The region's natural beauty and tranquility make it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful beach vacation amidst tropical landscapes.
