Mission Beach a
real tropical haven
Mission Beach is
surrounded by a lush backdrop of World Heritage listed wet tropical
rainforest, sunkissed white sandy beaches, close offshore islands
including the world renowned Dunk and Bedarra Islands, and the
deep cobalt blues of the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef Marine
Park.
Situated at just under 2 hours drive south
from Cairns and 2.5 hours north from Townsville, both having
International and domestic airports. The scenic drive through
rich cane fields, banana plantations and historic towns is a
pleasant experience.
While South Mission has a lovely café & gift
shop as well as a dine-in/take-away shop a short walk from Taihoa
Holiday Units, there are two shopping areas - one at North Mission
Beach, the other at Wongaling Beach that can provide for your
general needs during your stay. There are a range of services
available including: supermarkets, butchers, newsagents, liquor
outlets, health food store, bakery, Post Shop, gift shops, clothing
stores, hairdressers, TAB, art galleries, dive shop, fishing
supplies, hardware store, service station, dentist, physiotherapist
and medical centre.
Not in the mood for cooking? Mission Beach
boasts many restaurants offering a wide range of cuisine including
Thai, Indian, Asian, Pizza, Bistro-style and International...
some fully licensed, others BYO. As well, there are a host of
take-aways, coffee shops and cafés.
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 with its unique flora and
fauna, and the Gulf Savannah. |
