Wongaling Beach falls within the Mission Beach precinct. It is approximately 5 kilometres from the Mission Beach Village. Whenever I have the opportunity to return to Cairns, opportunities arise to visit some of the beautiful areas of the Far North. One of my favourite past-times is walking along the edge of the ocean with the waves washing around my feet on a pristine beach, capturing images which open up before me, and Wongaling Beach fits the criteria beautifully.
Dunk Island can be seen clearly off shore and the water taxi to Dunk Island departs from this area. Shorts are useful if taking the water taxi as one needs to wade into the water to board, which is all part of the tropical experience.
