Kingscliff

Kingscliff is located just 34km south of Surfers Paradise and is a seaside holiday retreat waiting for you! The area is sometimes known as the Tweed Coast and, while it is close to the highly developed Gold Coast, it has a simpler and less complex holiday ambience. It is nestled between the Tweed River and a run of attractive beaches which stretch from Cabarita in the south and to Fingal in the north.

Just 'south of the border', Kingscliff is becoming a popular destination for Queenslanders wanting a great meal or a good coffee on a day out, as well as a holiday destination for families from all over the region and interstate.
Kingscliff has a great stretch of patrolled golden beaches that are great for surfing, rock fishing, swimming or just soaking up the sun. Various water sports, canoeing, crab fishing and River cruises are the many sun soaked activities waiting for you on the Tweed River.

There is a bowling club where you can also enjoy a bistro lunch or maybe you would prefer the culinary treats of Kingscliff’s beachfront stretch of restaurants or café's, you will be enhanced by the mouth watering, aromatic variety available.
With some good street landscaping and plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants just across the road from the main beach, Kingscliff is becoming a well known food destination. In the heart of good farming and fishing regions, the fresh produce is not all headed to city markets, and locals and visitors enjoy the emerging regional cuisine. There are also plenty of shaded areas for family picnics.

Kingscliff is also an easy drive to the Gold Coast and the theme parks, as well as the natural beauty of Mount Warning and the World Heritage National Parks nearby. Pleasure and fishing cruises are available along the Tweed River, and river and beach fishing is another popular pastime. Surfers and swimmers enjoy the beautiful beaches which originally attracted the early settlers, who used the area for holiday recreation from their nearby farms.

The rich volcanic soils of the surrounding Cudgen and Tweed Valley areas were the first areas farmed in the region, and today the land is still fairly intensively farmed, with new crops such as exotic tropical fruits taking over from the early dairying and cane of the region. The enormous variety of tropical fruits suited to the area can be seen growing at the nearby Tropical Fruit World.

Tropical Fruit World is an agri-tourist destination based around a tropical fruit plantation. A visit begins with a tractor train-ride through the plantation which grows over 500 varieties of fruit including such exotics as acerola, babaco, sour sop along with the more common bananas, pineapples, guava and paw paw. The tour ends at Treasure Island where there are children’s' play facilities and a miniature train ride. Next is a riverboat cruise to the fauna park where the animals can be hand-fed. There is also a giant koi pond and the Gardens of the World. The latter is a series of gardens where the botany is based around specific geographical-historical themes. There are also fruits and fruit products for sale for you to purchase, along with souvenirs and a restaurant for you to sample some culinary delights.

The walk to Fingal Lighthouse is just one of the many adventure to be had within Kingscliff, as you follow the sand tracks up to the lighthouse and witness the impressive views of the waves pounding the basalt stacks of the Giants Causeway and across to Cook Island.

Kingscliff in New South Wales, is fast becoming a holiday destination preferred by many from all over Australia, so why not come and experience this wonderful seaside lifestyle for yourself and see why so many people keep coming back for more.
