The sun is finally out in beautiful Mission Beach again!

Scotty’s guests on their way to the Sunday markets.
You know what that means? You couldn’t ask for more gorgeous days to go skydiving or whitewater rafting. But if you’re on a little bit of a budget, or have already seen the extreme activities that Mission has to offer, Sundays are a perfect day to relax and unwind with some lower key adventures.

In the morning, Scotty’s takes guests over to the Sunday Markets, and this Sunday, the last of the month, guests were treated to the Monster Markets at Marcs Park. Usually we’ll head over to the North Mission Village Market, but once a month, when the Monster Markets come to town, guests can meander through jewelry and furniture booths, browse for clothing and pick up fresh produce in the farmers’ market. There’s also a great setup of food stalls with everything from Thai noodles to Greek delicacies.

This Sunday is also the kickoff of Sangria Sundays at the Castaways Resort, also located in North Mission. $25 will get you 2.5 liters of sangria, a very backpacker friendly figure. Castaways has been recently renovated, so it gives guests a great chance to lounge on the beach at a four star resort while sipping on some yummy drinks and taking in the sunshine.

Last, but definitely not least if you’re into food, we’re making sure that everyone is well fed by giving them a chance to get delicious Thai food from Spicy Thai delivered for only $12.50. Green curry, spring rolls, and fried rice are just a few of the treats on the menu.

Sunday might be the day of rest, however with all of the fun we’ve got planned for our guests, they can be sure to be relaxed, but definitely busy!

World Cup action isn’t the only thing capturing the attention of backpackers these days!

In the last week, Scotty’s has been curing the bad weather blues for our guests by bringing back our jam packed activities program, kicking off with a Trivia Tuesday! Guests were grilled on everything from James Bond to cricket knowledge, with the winners (Team Ireland) walking away with a FREE jug of beer from Miller’s Bar and Grille. Guests who had a more quiet night in mind were treated to a Movie Night on Wednesday evening, even though the film choice, American Gangster, may have riled them more than it calmed them down.

Thursday night featured our usual Thursday night barbecue. For only $10, guests were treated to a huge meal, complete with steaks, grilled onions, garden salad and potatoes. If that wasn’t enough, once their bellies were full, Scotty’s staff treated everyone to a fire show!

We’re keeping things moving this Saturday night with the return of the Saturday Scavenger Hunt, where guests will divide themselves into teams of four, and the members of the winning team have a chance to win a 2-for-1 trip to Dunk Island!

If you haven’t stopped by Scotty’s yet, what are you waiting for?

Oh, no! You`re on the road and you`re playing Brazil tonight!!DON`T PANIC!

Just because you want to raft, skydive,snorkel,sunbathe and explore the rainforest in Mission Beach, doesn`t mean you have to miss out on this huge sporting event!!! Our guests can sit back and watch ALL the World Cup matches in our 24hour media room, thanks to our Foxtel sports package (including the much sought after Setanta!!!!!).

Yes, bring your own national flag and hoody for the small hours of the morning and then snooze away the rest of the day in one of our hammocks after enjoying that strange brand of football you all seem to enjoy so much (go figure!).

Just thank your lucky stars I`m such an understanding Aussie who appreciates the needs of the travelling “footy” fan.

“Scotty`s: that`s how we roll.”
