Bedarra is one of the most beautiful places in the world and the proprietors of the resort have a philosophy of sustainablity and have made efforts to significantly reduce their impact on the environment.
Mission Beach does not have an airport. The closest major airport is Tully.
Mission Beach is a small town on the coast of North Queensland. The popular tourist destination of Dunk Island lies 4 kilometres offshore, with Bedara Island just a little further.
Dunk Island
The Aboriginal name for Dunk Island is ‘Coonanglebah’ – the isle of peace and plenty. The island has rainforest walks, a golf course, jet skis, catamarans, the Spa of Peace and Plenty and much more besides. Dunk Island is a rainforest island paradise, and has been extensively rebuilt after the devastating cyclone Yasi of 2011.
