Only a Short Drive From Brisbane Experience Kingscliff Australia
For the average person, the thought of travel to an exotic place may seem a little far-fetched.
In Kingscliff, there is no need to travel far to find a beautiful vacation.
Just seventy minutes south of Brisbane, this town is becoming a day tripping destination for Queenslanders and a travel destination for families from far and wide.
With miles of pristine white beaches, if you are looking for the perfect wave to surf, you have come to the right place.
Swimming and surfing are not the only activities in this pretty little town, but safe boating and swimming areas are bountiful.
The swimming areas are far less crowded than the beaches located further north.
Fishing is also popular with both the locals and the tourists and along with year round tagged fishing contests from the beach, there is the lovely Tweed river to cool your toes and add some freshwater fish to the menu.
Pleasure and fishing cruises are available along the river or the beach.
Tired of fishing and swimming? There are so many restaurants and open air markets to choose from.
In May, the Art, Food and All That Jazz festival is in full swing.
In October, take the time to see the Main Street Festival, or hang around each second and fourth Sunday of the any month for the Farmer's Markets.
These local farmer's markets include local specialties like exotic tropical fruits.
These fresh fruits are not all headed to the big cities, so the traveler can enjoy a taste of the area's emerging "foodie" reputation.
Al Fresco dining is a feature of the main street of town - Marine Parade.
With fresh crispy grilled snapper or lemon pepper calamari and beef wraps and Asian salads the choices are wide and varied.
There are foods for any palate and restaurants for any discerning food lover.
From juice bars and fresh sandwiches to five star Italian dinners or just a sherbet on the deck, if it interests your tongue, it's available.
A favorite of the food loving tourist, this town is becoming a food lover's paradise.
Walking the main street fills the senses.
Some of the local attractions include Cook Island, Fingal Head - with its volcanic rock rising from the ocean.
The nearby Fingal Lighthouse which offers a stunningly panoramic view.
Park on the road just past the Fingal Trading post and just the path to the Fingal Lighthouse is worthy of photographing, with its breathtaking local flora.
Cudgen Creek is shallow and slow moving and exits into the ocean.
It makes a pretty place for photos or timid swimmers to enjoy the warm water or even to watch the local pelicans spend their day.
These large birds are native to these beaches and can be seen fishing for their own dinner most evenings.
There are eight theme parks within about an hour drive of the pretty little beach town.
These parks include Movie World which is the only Australian themed movie related park with all the glamour of Hollywood.
The Australian Outback Spectacular, right next to Movie World, is a unique Outback style show.
Sea World and Wet and Wild are also nearby, so the day can be spent viewing whales or sliding on huge thrilling water slides.
The theme parks have something available for everyone with Dreamworld and Pioneer Plantation plus Jetski Safaris Gold Coast and Flycoaster, the latest of the wild rides are just a short distance from the town itself.
Stay a little closer to to the village, within about thirty minutes of the beach and a pleasant walk (although a much more difficult climb) is the walk up Mount Warning.
Allow yourself six hours for the climb and bring sufficient water and wear suitable walking shoes.
The descent track is the same as the ascent track but the views are quite worth the climb and the hike.
The Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is also within about thirty minutes of hotels and beaches.
Here the largest collection of native Australian animals in the world is housed.
The Sanctuary also includes wildlife shows and you can have your photo taken with a cuddly koala or feed the kangaroos.
It's hard to choose a romantic tropical rainforest escape or a relaxing seaside holiday, so why not choose both? With the distinct village feel of this beautiful town, you will feel at home immediately.
From the friendly and hippy atmosphere to the softly lapping waves of the ocean to the breathtaking volcanic rock formations, there's something to see with every turn of the head.
Come to paradise, just "south of the border" - come to Kingscliff.
