As you all know we have travelled to quite a few places around the world. One of our favourite, most treasured destinations is just 138 kms south of Cairns. Mission Beach is a sleepy coastal town that looks out to Dunk Island. Here the pristine beach meets with the warm tropical waters; you can walk for an hour along the shore and feel like the only person on the planet. There are several resorts in the area as well as caravan parks and short term rental houses/units. We stayed at Mission Beach resort at Wongaling. They have hotel style rooms or apartments to choose from. All the rooms open out to a pool and BBQ area, and it is only a five minute stroll to the very quiet beach. Mission has a large variety of restaurants to tempt the taste buds, two supermarkets and a couple of boutiques. Just enough to satisfy the city folk!
Apart from just relaxing and soaking up the ambience of this gorgeous hideaway, there are plenty of hiking oportunities to be had in the Licuala State Forest. Known as the Cassowary Coast, the area has world heritage rain forest. A hike up to Clump Point will provide you with spectacular views across the bay or catch a water taxi across to Dunk Island for more exploring. For the thrill seekers, parachuting, hangliding, scuba diving and snorkeling are all on offer.
Queensland; beautiful one day, perfect the next!
