About Cabarita Beach

Cabarita Beach is a picturesque beachside locality in Tweed Shire, on the Northern Rivers coast of New South Wales, approximately 118 km south of Brisbane and 49 km north of Byron Bay. Technically a narrow strip of land east of the Tweed Coast Road within the broader Bogangar township, Cabarita Beach had a population of 101 residents at the 2021 census. The area falls within the state electorate of Tweed and the federal Division of Richmond, and is one of the most sought-after coastal escapes on the Tweed Coast.

The locality is anchored by its celebrated surf beach and the dramatic Norries Headland — a popular spot for whale watching, rock platforms, and photography. The surfing break north of the headland draws serious wave riders, while the laid-back café strip in Bogangar caters to weekenders and sea-change seekers alike. Cabarita Beach attracts a mix of retirees, holiday-home owners, and young families priced out of Byron Bay, all drawn by its unhurried pace, natural beauty, and proximity to Gold Coast Airport (about 40 km north).

Cabarita Beach falls under postcode 2488 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Tweed electorate.
