Mission Beach is described as the rainforest capital of Far North Queensland. It lies on the Great Green Way about an hour and a half’s drive south of Cairns and is the center of one of Australia’s most scenically beautiful regions. Mission Beach is close to Tully and the magnificent rivers and forests of this region are home to the rare Cassowary and many other unique wildlife species. The region is popular among Australian caravaners and there are several great caravan parks in the region.
Mission Beach is situated on a stretch of the Australian coastline that is bordered on one side by beautiful islands and resorts and on the other by a magnificent hinterland filled with attractions and activities. Mission Beach is the departure point for both Dunk Island resort and Bedarra Island resort and the ferry transfers for both depart from Clump Point jetty in the north of the town. Water taxi services also depart from the main beach at the center of town.
