Tucked on the NSW side of the Qld/NSW border, Fingal Head and Fingal beach is a sleepy backwater brimming with natures beauty and charm. For those who don’t mind forsaking the luxuries of the towers, Fingal Caravan Park provides a clean facilities from its perch beside the beach and is well within anyone’s budget.
As the Tugun bypass provides easy access to the theme parks and shops at the northern end of the coast, there is no need to miss out, but for us at least, the true beauty of the coast is the (relatively) un-spoilt beaches of Northern NSW – if you feel the need to venture from Fingal, the beaches from Hastings Point and Byron are within easy reach, and birdlife abounds.

Sitting on the headland, either in the predawn or the last light, face into the breeze with the sound of the waves rolling in against the rock columns it is hard not to be entranced by power and beauty!
And for those who are afflicted with the photography bug, the lighthouse, the basalt columns and the beach all provide endless opportunities at various times of the day.
Our only complaint from our recent weekend away – offshore winds forced the cancellation of our planned whale watching cruise… guess we will just have to go back!
