There is a gorgeous coral reef you can snorkel over yourself just 5km from Mission Beach. Huge coral reef formation, giant Conch shells, sea slugs, colourful reef fish and all within 5km of town and between 20-30m from the shore … park your car, walk across the road and down a little coral encrusted beach, put your flippers, mask and snorkel on and in 2 minutes you’ll be swimming over breathtakingly beautiful coral reef and underwater gardens … surrounded by colourful reef fish. Where is this secret location?

The first photo shows the exact location: just south of the landslide on the Mission Beach to Bingil Bay Road:
