Kennedy Track

The Kennedy Track is one of the longer walks in the Mission Beach area, taking about 4 hours to complete the 8 kilometre return journey. However, most people choose to do shorter sections of the walk such as the 5 kilometre return walk to Tam O'Shanter Point.

The first part of the walk is through shady pandanus and eucalypt forest. After a little more than a kilometre there is a set of steps down to the long curved beach of Lugger Bay.

There is a short climb up Tam O'Shanter Point to a lookout with superb ocean views. If you choose to keep walking, the track winds its way around the rocky point to Kennedy Bay where there are toilet and picnic facilities, ideal for lunch.
