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.

The rare CassowaryMission 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.
