Situated just 15 kilometers south of the renowned Gold Coast, Cabarita Beach is a picturesque haven spanning approximately one square kilometer. With a close-knit community of 3,000 residents, this small coastal village exudes a warmth and vibrancy that make it a highly sought-after destination on the Tweed Coast.
One of Cabarita’s most remarkable features is its breathtaking environment.

For those seeking outdoor adventures, Cabarita offers various picnic and barbecue spots around Norries Headland, offering uninterrupted views of the ocean and hinterland. Keep an eye out for majestic whales as you relax and take in the stunning sunsets—the perfect way to spend a winter evening. Kids can release their energy at the local skate park or enjoy a game on the nearby football fields. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a bike ride and explore the scenic cycle path stretching from Pottsville to Fingal Head. For a refreshing swim, kayak, or canoe experience, head to the serene Cudgen Lake, a designated environmental protection zone that prohibits motorized boats.
Cabarita Beach is also a gateway to a plethora of exciting tourist attractions. Embark on scuba trips to Cook Island, exhilarating whale-watching tours, or join a deep-sea fishing charter. If you’ve always wanted to try surfing, take advantage of the surf schools available. Don’t miss the renowned Greenback Fishing competition, a must-see event for fishing enthusiasts.
