A sea of tranquility.
Despite its reputation Mission Beach continues to be a relatively small sea side town - a fantastic beach backed by palm trees and a small main resort which expands to the south to a larger resort.
A relaxing morning watching the sky divers and then a stroll along the beach, a swim (stingers, sharks and crocs are not in the water currently - too cold!) in warm water and then a walk to Mission Beach jetty through woodland walk.
Walking back we took the road route - bought some bananas from a farm stall - huge plantation of banana trees - even saw how they grow.
Then it was back to accommodation for a late lunch, swim in the pool and then a swim in the sea - lots of good body surfing conditions. Came out at sunset as it cools down quickly.
Now out for a sea food meal!
After reading the above, It said in the paper someone was attacked by a shark, so it must be warm enough in some areas.Hope your drive to Cairns goes well it will be good to chill out and relax.
