A delightful little coastal town renowned for its excellent surfing beach and varied accommodation, Cabarita is an ideal holiday venue. A small but well equipped shopping centre with takeaway food, restaurants, beachside hotel, supermarket, surf and fishing needs will supply you with the necessities of life whilst you enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the surrounding town. The original name for this pretty little town is Bogangar, an Aboriginal word meaning 'place of many pipis', which refers to the ancient ceremonial shell middens in the area.
With large areas of protected wetlands, Cabarita has only limited development, creating a quiet, relaxed holiday atmosphere. Bounded by Nature Reserve to the north and west and the Pacific Ocean to the east, this typical coastal village of some 3000 residents represents a unique lifestyle.
It boasts many features such as bike tracks, coastal walkways, and littoral rainforests. Cudgen Lake, around behind the Cabarita Ski Gardens site is a very good area for children and families enjoying boating as the water is only very shallow and there are water tractors, canoes and catamarans for hire. There is a new Skateboard Park, headland BBQ and Picnic areas and uninterrupted views over the ocean; whale watching is a local pastime.
The beach is renowned for its surfing and hosts many carnivals during the year; the Greenback Tailor Fishing Competition is an annual charity event and attracts hundreds of competitors from NSW and QLD. The village has the only beachside hotel in the Tweed Shire with residents and visitors alike being able to eat and drink within 200 yds of the main beach and enjoy the special ambience this setting provides.
