Mission Beach

Mission Beach is a relaxed, yet vibrant beachfront town with over 14 kilometres of magnificent golden sandy beaches.

Here two World Heritage areas, The Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest, come together to form a tropical paradise.

In many places, the rainforest literally fringes stretches of pristine golden beach, giving the destination the reputation of the ideal natural holiday choice.

There are four villages that are collectively known as Mission Beach: South Mission Beach, Wongaling Beach, North Mission Beach and Bingil Bay.

Less than 5 kilometres offshore, Dunk Island and Bedarra Island make up an aquatic playground offering two very different styles of accommodation and activities.

The Great Barrier Reef is only 38 kilometres away making Mission Beach the closest mainland access to the Reef, just an hour or so by boat.

Fourteen kilometres of palm-fringed beach connect the four small townships of Mission Beach, from Kennedy Bay in the south, to Garners Beach in the north, a favourite spot for naturalists. The Edmund Kennedy walking track at the southern end of the beach is part beach, mangrove and rainforest.

Several creeks meet at Mission Beach and locals often fish for Queensland favourites barramundi and mangrove jacks. Good fishing is also to be had at Clump Point jetty and the rock wall at Clump Point boat ramp. And for absolute seclusion, try Brooks Beach or Garners Beach at the northern end. It's quite likely that you'll catch a glimpse of the endangered Southern Cassowary in the rainforest around Mission Beach.

At Mission Beach, you will find a tranquil and very friendly tropical holiday township.
