Cabarita Beach profile

 

 

Cabarita Beach or "Bogangar-an Aboriginal word meaning 'place of many pippies'" is bounded by a Nature Reserve to the north and west and the Pacific Ocean to the east, this typical coastal village of some 3000 residents just south of Kingscliff represents a unique coastal lifestyle

 

With large areas of protected wetlands, Cabarita has only limited development, creating a quiet, relaxed holiday atmosphere where the main activities are surfing (with a long right hand point break), swimming, beach fishing and canoeing. The shopping centre is small, but well-equipped.

Lake Cudgen, around behind the Cabarita Ski Gardens site is a particularly good area for children and families enjoying boating as the water is only about 1.2m deep at most, and there are water tractors, canoes and catamarans for hire.

Norries Headland is a particularly scenic spot for taking in views of Diamond Beach, and the walk around the headland is very popular with tourists and locals.
