St Mary's by the Sea

We made a special stop at the picturesque Chapel by the Sea in Port Douglas after seeing it featured in the TV series Irreverent, and it absolutely lived up to expectations. The setting is stunning — with the charming little chapel framed by palm trees and the ocean stretching out behind it, it really felt like we had stepped into a scene from the show. While it was a bit of a novelty visit, it ended up being a genuinely enjoyable and peaceful stop. The combination of location, scenery, and that familiar backdrop made it one of those unexpected highlights of the trip. Definitely worth a visit, especially for fans of the series or anyone looking for a beautiful photo opportunity.

A beautiful heritage listed historical church near the centre of town and beach. Originally built in 1880 and rebuilt after a cyclone in 1911. Relocated to this site in 1988 and restored soon after. Non denominational with community worship every Sunday at 11am.

Beautiful Quaint little church right on the beach in Port Douglas. Absolutely amazing view when you walk into the church and the front window opens in you can see the ocean the whole time while the wedding is happening. Amazing priest with a great sense of humor.

Absolutely beautiful. Attended a wedding and it was quaint and cosy and beautiful. Grounds around are very well kept, view out the main window adds an extra personality. On a hot day it would cook, but there's a little speaker system, and the inside looked recently painted - very crispy and clean white which elevated it

Gorgeous church & setting💙💚we always visit ❤️ when we visit Port Douglas ❤️today we met a bridal party getting married tomorrow 👌

A very quaint Church used for weddings and other gatherings. The exterior is very idyllic with palms shading manicured lawns. The interior was cleaned for an upcoming wedding ceremony. While I took photos a couple came by and said they had their wedding right there 25 years earlier and nothing's changed.

A quaint church which is great for weddings or gatherings. The church is beautifully lit at night, with palm trees and a pristine lawn all around. Close to the small sandy beach area and pier.

A beautiful day for a wedding....... One of the most popular and cutest venues with old world charm for a wedding in the tropical Far North of Queensland!! They also do christenings and blessings amongst other events.

St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church is a cute little church on the edge of Anzac Park at the end of the Esplanade in Port Douglas. The chapel was originally built in 1880, destroyed by a cyclone in 1911, replaced in 1914, and rebuilt on its current site in 1988. It is now a non-denominational historical church available for christenings, weddings, and funeral services. Community worship is at 11:00 am on Sunday. It only takes several minutes to walk inside to give a small donation and admire this place of worship by the sea. It's easy to see why this is a popular place for weddings as it is right by the water and a perfect place to take photographs. I stopped by St. Mary's several times during my stay in Port Douglas. The area provides shade and a beautiful view of Coral Sea. Both the park and St. Mary's is worth the visit during a day along the Esplanade.
