Swimming

Swim in the warmth of our tropical water. Mission Beach boasts shallow beaches without rough surf and with minimal undertow, making it great fun for little ones. Two stinger resistent enclosures are also available. It is recommended that you do not swim during the stinger season (generally from December to May) as marine jellyfish stings can be deadly. Personally we like to wear lycra stinger/sun suits all year round, it looks kinda funky......and it's a little like a helmet on a bicycle....always a handy thing to have.
