Seaside Playground

Kingscliff locals know this one well — it’s right in the thick of things, close to the shops and cafes that make this stretch of the NSW coast worth visiting in the first place. The seaside setting does a lot of the heavy lifting, giving the whole place that easy, salty-air vibe that’s hard to manufacture. It caters to kids of all ages and gets decent marks for accessibility, which isn’t something every coastal playground can claim. Honestly, pair it with a coffee from one of the nearby spots and you’ve got a solid morning sorted.
