Mission Beach Australia is one of those lazy, idyllic
little locales you always knew existed along the north
Queensland coast, you just didn't know exactly where. If
you need respite from crowds, stress, and having to get
dressed for dinner, you'll find it just 90 minutes drive
from Cairns.
Hugging the coast for
about 15km Mission Beach takes in a handful of villages
from Garners Beach in the north to Kennedy Bay in the
south. Along the stretch is sleepy Bingil Bay, Mission
Beach proper, Wongalinga Beach and South Mission Beach.
You'll find a range of low key low rise accommodation,
shopping and restaurants, access to rainforests,
beautiful beaches and the Family group of islands.
The only traffic jams will be caused by cassowaries
crossing. The rainforests surrounding Mission Beach are
famous for being one of the few areas the large
endangered native birds are still found.
From Mission Beach there are several day trip options
including rainforest walks on the Licuala or the Edmund
Kennedy Tracks, whitewater rafting on the Tully River,
sailing, snorkelling in the Family Group of Islands or a
day at Dunk Island. Dunk is accessed via a 20 minute
water taxi ride and you can spend the day using the
resort's water sports facilities, Jetty Bar & Café.
ACCOMMODATION
Mission Beach offers an endless variety of accommodation
types and styles from which to choose from. From a touch

catered for by a variety of backpacker venues and there
