The
hideaway township of Mission Beach is surrounded by a lush backdrop
of World Heritage listed wet tropical rainforest, sunkissed white
sandy beaches and the silvery shimmering blues of the Cora Sea.
A picturesque 1.5 hours
drive south from Cairns and 2.5 hours north from Townsville through
rich cane fields, banana plantations and historic towns, Mission
Beach is a unique and unspoilt haven.
Two shopping centres - one at Mission Beach
and one at Wongaling Beach service the area with supermarkets,
butchers, newsagents, TAB, bakery, greengrocer, Post Office, gift
shops, delicatessen, clothing stores, hairdressers, art gallery,
dive shop, hardware store and service stations. There is a liquor
outlet at Wongaling Beach.
The area boasts many restaurants offering a wide
range of cuisine from French, Chinese, Italian and international
.... some fully licensed, others BYO. As well, there are a host
of takeaways, coffee shops and ample retail outlets for those
who want to do their own cooking.
Mission Beach is secluded, yet it is also
the perfect base to explore the other wonders of the region; the
Great Barrier Reef, Hinchinbrook Island, Dunk Island, Paronella
Park at Mena Creek, Atherton Tablelands, Cairns, World Heritage
Wet Tropic Rainforest and the Gulf Savannah.
