Discover Kingscliff – The Jewel of the Tweed Coast

Perfectly positioned just south of Tweed Heads and only 12 minutes from Gold Coast Airport, Kingscliff has earned its place as one of Australia’s most sought-after coastal destinations. Loved for its relaxed pace, natural beauty, and village atmosphere, Kingscliff offers the ideal blend of convenience and charm for holidaymakers and lifestyle seekers alike.

A Beachside Village Without the High-Rise Crowds

What sets Kingscliff apart? Its unspoiled village feel. Free from high-rise development, the town maintains a low-key, laid-back character that keeps visitors coming back. With a stunning coastal outlook and friendly community vibe, it’s a true escape from the hustle of city life.

Dreamtime Beach – Your Front Row Seat to Nature’s Beauty

Front and centre is Dreamtime Beach, a breathtaking stretch of coastline that curves majestically from the iconic Fingal Headland and lighthouse down to Cudgen Creek’s breakwater. The beach is framed by a lush natural foreshore, offering a picturesque backdrop whether you're walking, swimming, or simply enjoying the view from your verandah.

From whale watching during the migration season to catching a wave with dolphins, nature lovers will be in awe of what Dreamtime Beach offers.

Two Patrolled Beaches Just Moments from Your Door

Families and swimmers appreciate the convenience and safety of two patrolled beaches within close proximity:

• Dreamtime Beach – just 300 metres north of Ming Apartments

• Cudgen Headland Beach – patrolled and family-friendly, ideal for swimming and surfing

Whether you’re looking to relax on the sand or dive into the waves, Kingscliff’s beaches deliver.

A Fishing and Surfing Paradise on the Tweed Coast

For the adventurous, Dreamtime Beach is a local hotspot for surf fishing and beach fishing, drawing enthusiasts from across the region. Surfing conditions are excellent, and the chance to share a wave with dolphins makes the experience unforgettable.

Culinary Delights from Sunrise to Sunset

Kingscliff’s vibrant Marine Parade dining strip is a haven for food lovers. From laid-back beach cafés and smoothie bars to award-winning restaurants, there’s something to suit every palate. Whether you're enjoying a casual breakfast or a sunset seafood dinner, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Add to this a growing selection of boutiques and local retailers, and Kingscliff becomes more than just a beach destination – it’s a lifestyle hub.
