Mission Beach, population 662 is a quite tropical 8 kilometre coconut palm tree-lined beach backed by heavy rainforest, and stretches north from the Tam O'Shanter Point through South Mission, Wongaling, Mission Beach, Clump Point and Bingil Bay. This tiny town is modern and focuses entirely on the needs of tourists.
At Tam O'Shanter Point, a cairn commemorates the-ill fated Cape York expedition of explorer, Edmund Kennedy in 1848.
