Mission Beach is a stunning tropical seaside holiday location on the northern Queensland coast, approximately 20 km north of Tully, just off the Bruce Highway. Promoted as the place "locals come to take their holidays", Mission Beach offers everything from backpackers and caravan parks accommodation to luxurious 5 star resorts. In Mission Beach the rainforest stretches from the mountains to the shore of the great beaches. The general atmosphere is very laid back with loads of activities from kayaking to skydiving.

One of the last habitats of the rare large flightless bird, the cassowary, Mission Beach is indeed an idyllic hideaway for humans and cassowaries alike.
