Turning off the Bruce Highway at either Tully or El Arish, a scenic 20 minute drive will have you right in the middle of paradise. You can self drive, hire, come by coach or train, arrange a private transfer, or use the Mission Beach Connection Shuttle.

Taking its name from the aboriginal mission established in 1912, Mission Beach comprises some half dozen communities stretching north from Tam O'Shanter Point through South Mission, Wongaling, Mission Beach village and Clump Point, to Bingil Bay. At Tam O'Shanter Point a cairn commemorates the ill fated Cape York expedition of explorer Edmund Kennedy 150 years ago.

Mission Beach offers you the closest access to the Great Barrier Reef in North Queensland - only 50 minutes away - and yet it's coastline remains completely unspoilt, unlike other tourist destinations to the north and south.
