💡 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.
