Cabarita Beach

Beach breakBeginner to intermediate

Cabarita is a pretty Northern Rivers beach break just south of Kingscliff that picks up ENE to SE swells and delivers consistent, fun surf across well-shaped banks. The headland at the north end creates some shelter and can produce a quality right-hander on the right swell. Far less crowded than the Gold Coast breaks to the north with a relaxed village atmosphere.
