Water sports are big during the warmer months September through
April with safe swimming and snorkeling in Cudgen Creek and Sunrise
Cove’s large salt water pool.Kayaks, small sailboats, surf
skis and canoes are great for fun and exploring the
waterways.
Bicycle paths abound and the beach is smooth and hard at low tide:
walk, ride or jog. Maybe just lie down and relax?
Fishing is huge, from the boardwalk next to Sunrise Cove to the nearby beaches and rock walls. Boat launching facilities with free public parking for cars and trailers only a few hundred meters away near the mouth of Cudgen Creek. Take off over the briny for angling or SCUBA diving at the reefs offshore which teem with life. A short drive gets you to Byron Bay to sample its diving and other attractions.

Whale spotting at the beach is popular June to August as the humpbacks travel north along the coast and again October through November as they migrate back south. Always a thrill to see the leviathans, especially Migaloo the white whale!
