Set roughly halfway between Cairns and Townsville on the idyllic Queensland coast, the laidback seaside town of Mission Beach is comprised of four distinct villages, connected by a magnificent palm-fringed stretch of beach. These little hamlets offer a wide range of sophisticated restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, and boutiques fringing the lively main street of Porter Promenade. The town is sandwiched between the impressive aquatic playground of the great barrier reef and the spectacular World Heritage rainforest providing endless opportunities for a wide variety of outdoor adventures including kayaking, fishing, rainforest hiking, jet skiing, crocodile spotting, snorkelling and scuba diving. If that doesn’t get your adrenaline pumping, you can indulge in some white water rafting in the exquisite Tully Gorge or an exhilarating tandem skydive for adrenaline junkies.
