Where to eat in Mission Beach

Where to eat in Mission Beach, is a common question we get from visitors. We are lucky here that there are many great restaurants and cafe's located across the villages. I went out last night for a friends birthday and again had a fabulous meal at the new Spicy Thai Hut in Wongaling Beach, great food, great company and perhaps a drink or two was enjoyed by all. I can strongly recommend them for locals and visitors alike!

Etty Bay

Yesterday I went for a lovely drive from Mission Beach to Etty Bay. It was only 50 minutes and then you end up at a gorgeous beach at the Etty Bay Caravan Park. There is a takeaway shop for lunch and dinner, a stinger net so you can swim year round, and a resident Cassowary who wanders around the park at leisure. We had a great time sitting at the beach enjoying a glass of bubbly! Come into the Mission Beach Information Station and we will show you how to get there.

Coral Sea Kayaking

My sister and brother-in-law came to visit me here in Mission Beach. On Saturday we had a fabulous day with Coral Sea Kayaking. We sea kayaked over to Dunk Island, lunching and snorkelling on Coconut Beach on the far side of the Island. The wildlife put on a bit of a show for us, we saw turtles, sting rays, flying fish and a small shark. It was awesome to visit Dunk Island under our own steam, there is a real sense of achievement when you get back to South Mission Beach at the end of the day. This is one tour I can strongly recommend!!!!!
