There is nothing to do in Mission Beach. It's a small village in the middle of nowhere. Only skydiving is a popular thing to do here.
Coming in from Cairns most people go north to Port Douglas but I'd definitely encourage you to go south to Mission Beach. The place is beautiful - the beaches are clean and the locals are very friendly.
Nice beach. Very relaxed with poor service and lack of facilities as a result. We had to ask a couple of times if various things were actually still trading, some places looked abandoned. We did see a Cassowary in the wild which was probably the highlight of our time in the area.
This beach makes it feel like you are in Hawaii, it is beautiful and tropical, with plenty of coconut trees. We cracked open a fallen coconut which was delicious and fresh. The beach does for ages, and has a stinger net for swimming during stinger season. Honestly one of he most beautiful beaches I have ever seen!
Great beaches, food and people. The fish and chip at the Fish Bar were great. The Licuala Lodge is the best B & B ever.
This is the archetypal tropical beach fringed with palm trees. Beautiful. I just wish you could swim anywhere along it but you must be careful & keep to the stinger nets in Queensland.
You feel like you are in a wild place.You need a car if you want to buy more to essential.Be careful with the stingers.
MIssion Beach is a beautiful natural area but is under developed and the little North Mission township is run down and under utilised.Castaways resort is the main draw card to the area and is an absolute rip off.
Mission beach is a quiet little place with a nice beach with palmtrees. Seems to be a good place for backpackers.
Brilliant 1/2 day on the reef with some lovely people who give you an unforgettable morning! MUST see!
