There is plenty to do on and around what the Lonely Planet Travel Guide calls "one of the top 10 beaches in the world"! Of course you can enjoy all the beach activities here: dig your own hot pool at the rocky outcrops of Hot Water Beach, fossick in the sand, swim, dive or surf!
There is a surf school and surf shop in Hot Water Beach which is an easy walk from the holiday park. While there, you can enjoy a fresh espresso coffee or a bite to eat in the native bush surroundings of the Hot Waves Café, then head next door for some art and culture at Moko Artspace.
