Im not enjoying monday morning
Monday mornings, not always the easiest morning of the week, especially when you have had a huge weekend. Our friends were married at Lugger Bay Beach on the weekend (this is just one of the beautiful spots that makes up the 14 km of Mission Beach golden sands). Great Wedding & Party! I suspect Monday mornings are not so bad for those on holidays though....everyone else seems happy and chirpy and are enjoying skydiving, water water rafting, sea kayaking and strolling along the beach. Perhaps I need a holiday or to take it easier on the weekend!

Making someone's holiday fun
The best thing about working in Mission Beach is helping people to enjoy their holidays. Finding great adventures like skydiving and white water rafting, or showing them where the best walks are to maybe see a cassowary, or even just letting them know where the best place to relax and go for a swim is. Its almost like being on holiday yourself...but not quite.

Birds are singing
Woke up this morning, had to come into the shop which is a bit of a downer.....it's not that I dont enjoy chatting to travelers, I actually do.....but I do miss time on the beach on beautiful days like today. But it's not all bad. The birds were singing madly this morning, crested cockatoos & rainbow lorikeets mainly, very rowdy. A wee Sunbird is currently building a nest on our back deck, so literally had breakfast with the birds! Have to love mornings in Mission Beach.

Mission Beach Tours
Welcome to the blog for up-to-date information on where to book tours in and around Mission Beach, Queensland, Australia.
Mission Beach is a relaxed, yet vibrant beachfront town with over 14 kilometres of magnificent golden sandy beaches. Here two World Heritage areas, The Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest, come together to form a tropical paradise. In many places, the rainforest literally fringes stretches of pristine golden beach, giving Mission Beach a reputation as an ideal natural holiday choice.
Only 2 hours from Cairns and 2.5 hours from Townsville, Mission Beach offers an excellent choice of restaurants, galleries, gift stores and coffee shops and of course the famous Mission Beach Accommodation that includes everything from Backpackers and B&B's to beautiful absolute beachfront Resorts.
While you are here enjoy golf, kayaking, cassowary spotting, reef and estuary fishing, rainforest hikes, jet skiing, crocodile spotting, bird watching, market shopping, bike riding, swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving. A day trip will have you enjoying the beautiful Atherton Tablelands, historic Paronella Park, Hinchinbrook Island, Josephine Falls and so much more.
For those of you with a little more adventure on your mind, a trip to Mission Beach won't be complete without experiencing a tandem skydive from 14,000 feet landing on one of the most pristine and untouched beaches you will ever see, or you can partake in a white water rafting trip in the beautiful Tully Gorge.
Less than 5 kilometres offshore of Mission Beach, Dunk Island and Bedarra Island make up an aquatic playground that is renowned along the east coast of Queensland. The Great Barrier Reef is only 38 kilometres away making Mission Beach the closest mainland access to the Reef, just an hour or so by boat. This means more time experiencing the wonders of Queensland's Great Barrier Reef when you stay at Mission Beach.
There are four villages that are collectively known as Mission Beach: South Mission Beach, Wongaling Beach, North Mission Beach and Bingil Bay. Our spectacular palm-fringed beach connects these four small townships, from Kennedy Bay in the south, to Garners Beach in the north, a favourite spot for naturalists.
Mission Beach Accommodation is available in all four of these townships and most visitors to our beautiful area find that they have a favourite. The Edmund Kennedy walking track at the southern end of the beach is part beach, mangrove and rainforest. Several creeks empty their waters at Mission Beach and locals can often be found fishing for barramundi and mangrove jacks. Good fishing is also to be had at Clump Point jetty and the rock wall at Clump Point boat ramp, and for absolute seclusion, try Brooks Beach or Garners Beach at the northern end. It's quite likely that you'll catch a glimpse of the endangered Southern Cassowary in the rainforest around Mission Beach.
At Mission Beach, you will find a tranquil and very friendly tropical holiday township ideally suited to those who desire a true break from everyday life. Experience a lifestyle change by investing in Mission Beach real estate and come and live in paradise with us.
