Mission Beach is also famous for its June Mudfest, which is a music and dance festival with various arts and crafts stalls. Definitely not to be missed id you are around.

There is a wide range of accommodation around Mission Beach, with many along the coast. There are also several hostels, which are mainly situated at Wongaling Beach. Eating out isn't a problem with plenty of restaurants and cafes around the area. Getting around the area is fairly easy, with the Mission Beach Bus Service covering the local area.
