The Cassowary Coast has an unusual geographical advantage: the Great Barrier Reef sits remarkably close to the mainland.
From the Mission Beach area, the islands and reef are not some distant offshore concept. They are part of the landscape you can see from the beach, with Dunk Island and the Family Islands forming a spectacular link between rainforest and reef.
It is one of the reasons the Cassowary Coast can offer a rainforest walk in the morning and a reef adventure in the same day. Adventure it: cassowarycoasttourism.com.au
