Mission Beach

Mission Beach was only half an hour down the road but a completely different atmosphere. On the way we saw Josephine falls and The Boulders.





The town of Mission Beach was still quiet but there were more backpackers around and wicked vans parked in dodgy areas. Mission Beach is the access point for Dunk Island, skydiving and white water rafting on the Tully River. The beach was beautiful (again) and the view from out tent was of coconut trees and sandy white beach. Jamie went white water rafting on the Tully River and we both kayaked to the South side of Dunk Island – national park away from the resort. On our Kayak we saw turtles, dolphins, blue rays and a white tip reef shark – apparently friendly and shy. The lady we kayaked with had a great job – kayaking in the Coral Sea everyday – they are thinking of selling the business….would be a great one to take over!
