Casuarina Beach

Tweed Coast, Australia
🌀Strong rips

Casuarina Beach is the Tweed Coast's answer to the crowded Gold Coast points—quality beach break peaks that deliver fun, uncrowded surf just minutes south of the border. The long stretch of sand between Kingscliff and Pottsville picks up the same E-SE swell that lights up Snapper and Kirra, but with a fraction of the crowd. Multiple peaks work through all tides, and the sheltered sections behind the rock platforms offer protection from the dominant southerly winds. For surfers after Gold Coast-quality swell without the mayhem, Casuarina is the answer.
