Kingscliff suburb profile

Kingscliff is a relaxed coastal town on the Tweed Coast in northern New South Wales, centred on a long sandy patrolled beach and a compact village strip of cafes, restaurants and small shops. The suburb has a strong seaside character, with an esplanade used for walking, surfing and fishing, and a mix of older beach cottages, low-rise apartments near the foreshore and newer family homes set back from the coast. It appeals to families, retirees and people after a quieter coastal lifestyle. Nearby headlands, estuary fringes and parks offer outdoor recreation and the town is within reach of regional transport links and Gold Coast Airport.
