A trip to Australia is an experience of a lifetime. Mission Beach is one such tropical paradise you should definitely visit. Do check out these ten top vacation rentals of Mission Beach.

Tip from Content Creator

Mission Beach is a must-visit along the Australian East Coast journey, especially if you're on a low-budget trip like me. It offers paradise-like beaches and a wild atmosphere.

I'd gone with Greyhound and had a pass that allowed me to make all the trips I wanted along the East Coast for a month!

Here, I also had my first experience of Couchsurfing, that is staying for free with a stranger who also offers you food. If they have time, they may take you to browse places less touristy and known, as well

If you're planning to stay here, I would say that it's absolutely worth it!
