The window
Dry-season evenings stay mild enough to eat outdoors without the wet-season humidity.
Come off the boat sun-tired and salt-haired, then head to Port Douglas for a whole mud crab at a small seafood shack. Crack it slowly. Let the day settle while the harbour cools.
Experiential
Order the crab before you sit with a long drink. When the kitchen is busy, the early order is the one that arrives while you still have the energy to enjoy it.
