Tourism and agriculture drive the economy, yet the area retains a laid‑back character. Locals often walk the Flagstaff Hill trail at dawn to watch the first light over Four Mile Beach and seek respite from the tropical heat with an afternoon swim in the cool clear water of Mossman Gorge away from busy tour buses.
