St Mary's by the Sea, Port Douglas, Heritage-listed church in Port Douglas, Australia
St Mary's by the Sea stands near the foreshore with glass altar windows offering views of the Coral Sea and mountains.
The original Catholic church from 1881 was destroyed by a cyclone in 1911, leading to the construction of the current structure in 1914.
The church transformed from a Catholic place of worship to a non-denominational venue serving the community through various ceremonies and gatherings.
The building maintains regular opening hours for visitors and accommodates weddings, christenings, memorial services, and religious ceremonies throughout the year.
Local residents saved the church from demolition in 1988 by relocating it to Dixie Street and conducting extensive restoration work.
