💡 Tips
- Walk or cycle the coastal path that runs south from Kingscliff all the way to Salt Village and Cabarita.
- Cudgen Creek is first-rate for safe swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, especially for families.
- Check the local tides before planning a creek swim; high tide provides the clearest, most beautiful water.
