Casuarina
Casuarina is a clean, modern, residential/holiday community just south of Kingscliff. It is a very different community compared to the rest of the area; this being one of its attractions.
Casuarina has a large residential sector, with an array of impressive, contemporary beach houses - the best of which can be seen from the well-established walkway, stretching from Cudgen Creek to the southern tip of Casuarina. These residential areas have curbed and sealed roads, green spaces and parks with playground facilities.
On the weekend, this walkaway is busy with cyclists, walkers (with or without dogs), skateboard and scooter riders - and - of course, people accessing the beach.. Casuarina does have its fair share of resorts, but one of the things that attracted us to the area, was the fact that the resort activity didn't impact on the liveability of the location. The main resort - Salt (technically in Kingscliff) - is set amongst the residential section, but has become entrenched as a town centre, rather than a separate entity. The complex contains: parkland, a Surf Club, a pub, a small supermarket, bottle shop, 2 beachwear boutiques, ice-creamery, 4 restaurants and a casual cafe.
There are two main beach access areas:
Recently, the area acquired a Coles Supermarket and other retail outlets, set in a modern shopping complex with good parking. (Details below).
