Tweed Coast Travel Guide: Top Attractions and Activities for 2024
7 days on the Tweed Coast
Summer's here and it's time to plan your holiday. One of my favourite summer holiday destinations is the Tweed Coast (which is in far Northern NSW). It's easy to get to, easy to enjoy, has lots on offer, and is right beside the Gold Coast which means you've got even more things to do and enjoy.
Here’s what your days could look like when you holiday on the Tweed Coast. You wake up, throw on your cossies, wander across the soft sand and dive into the sparkling blue water. If there’s a heaven on earth, you’ve found it. After floating around in the water, you're now ready to get a coffee and pastry at one of the local cafes. If you have kids in tow, the day may include a visit to Wet and Wild or Dreamworld. If it's grown-ups only, maybe you're lying by the pool before having a massage. As the day starts to close in, you take a stroll on the beach and a swim before heading to one of your new favourite restaurants.
Get a glimpse of what 7 days on the Tweed Coast could include.
