Surfing:
Ride the Waves
MASTER THE WAVES WITH REAL ADVENTURES
Whether you’re standing up for the first time, experiencing that tube ride of a lifetime or just sharing some ocean time with friends – nothing beats the good vibes, good stories and above all, great memories of the surfing life!
***The NPWS is currently assessing the management of Doonloughan, which serves as the access point for our surfing activities. Although we will still be providing surfing, visitors will now need to embark on a 850m walk (roughly 10 mins) to reach the beach and return. This measure has been implemented to regulate the number of vehicles crossing the dunes.***
