things
to see & do at
Mission Beach
There
is so much to see and do .... however, if you're
looking for theme parks or crass commercialism, then
Mission Beach is not the place for you!
There are numerous walking tracks from which to explore
the beautiful rainforest, mountain streams, waterfalls
and coastline. These tracks range in length from 1.5km
to 7km and are suitable for all ages.
Catch the water taxi across to Dunk Island and explore
the miles of walking tracks that criss cross the island
through National Park and discover your own secluded island
beach.
Mission Beach is also the home of the rare and beautiful
cassowary, a flightless rainforest bird found only in the
tropical rainforests. Please take care when driving in
the area and keep an eye out for this endangered species.
Daily trips to the Great Barrier Reef from Clump Point
enable visitors to experience this natural wonder of the
world by glass bottom boat, snorkelling and scuba diving.
As well, gamefishing, sportfishing and reef fishing are
all available by charter, or better still bring your own
boat and make Mission Beach your base to explore this magical
fishing destination.
For the more adventurous there is white water rafting
on the nearby Tully River or tandem skydiving from 10,000
feet onto the Beach.
