Information

Rivalling Tropical North Queensland’s famed Great Barrier Reef Drive, is Alexander Drive (aka The Bingil Bay Bends) which hugs the coastline between Mission Beach and Bingil Bay. While shorter in length, this stretch encompasses a passage through UNESCO Wet Tropics Rainforest with million-dollar ocean views.Bicton Hill, Clump Point National Park, beginning at the southern end of Bingil Bay offers a great walking track through one of the few remaining patches of undisturbed tropical lowland rainforest. Bicton Hill provides views over Bingil Bay, Mission Beach, and Dunk Island through to Hinchinbrook Island in the distance. If you’re a keen fisherman, head over to the other side of the hill, Narragon Beach, where the jetty is a favourite spot among locals to wet the line.
