Getting Around
Mission Beach Bus Service operates a regular service between Bingil Bay and South Mission Beach between 8.30am and 5.00pm. Later in the evening the service is somewhat more limited.

Most visitors to the region, however, will agree that the best way to get around is on foot as the walking trails are superb offering a unique combination of beachfront paths as well as those through rainforest. These trails present an opportunity which you simply won’t get sitting on a bus so take advantage of this while getting yourself in touch with nature. See, we think of everthing.
