Kingscliff: The perfect family holiday destination.
When it comes to thinking about the best family holiday destinations in Australia, many people single out capital cities and well known locations such as Melbourne, Sydney or Surfers Paradise.
However, it's well worth taking the time to consider one of the slightly lesser-known gems in Australia such as Kingscliff in New South Wales.
A coastal town located just south of Tweed Heads, Kingscliff offers plenty of family-friendly, interesting activities and is located near several other visitor hotspots as well - making it the ideal destination for your next family vacation.
Here are just a few of the benefits of a holiday in Kingscliff:

Kingscliff offers plenty of family-friendly, interesting activities and is located near several other visitor hotspots as well.
Meanwhile, your family can also enjoy a little water sport action with fishing, surfing, kayaking and more available along the Tweed Coast or take a relaxing cruise along the Tweed River to get a unique view.
