Explore your local hotspots

A great place to start your journey plan is your local council website, here you’ll find popular places to explore in your own backyard. We’ve done a little rounding up of our favourite spots around Tweed City.

Coast Walks

If you’re lucky enough to live near the ocean a coastal stroll, basking in the cool ocean breeze and watching the waves roll in could be the perfect exercise and mind set refresh combo. Dial it up by adding some interval sprints for a sweat sesh! 

Bike Tracks

Kids in tow? Visit your local bike track and have plan for some fun with the whole family. 

Bush Trails

There is something about the smell of natives and the sound of birds to sooth your soul. Many trails outside of national park areas allow you to bring your furry friend along. So grab your leash and let’s go walkies. 

Outdoor Fitness Classes

Meet your neighbours or bring a friend to an outdoor fitness class at your local park. Scope out groups on your outdoor strolls, jump on your Facebook community page or chat with your health fund about your fitness inclusions as a starting point.

Summer Tip: keep a beach bag packed with the essentials in the boot so you’re always prepared for fun!

Sunshine, the ocean breeze and your toddler eating sand… Packing for a beach day can be an absolute mission especially if you have little ones in tow. Launch into summer at Tweed City with all you need for the ultimate day under the sun, plus tips and tricks to ensure a day of smooth sailing.

• Create a beach check list in your phone that you can refer to all summer long to make sure you don’t forget any essentials.
• Late afternoon swim? Bring your eco body wash and give the kids an outdoor shower before throwing on their pyjamas – nothing to do when you arrive home! We love the Gaia Mini Travel Kit from Coles.
• Talcum Powder – have a bottle handy, it’s great at removing sand.
• Suncream – applying to babies and toddlers is no easy feat, try using a makeup brush. Our fav is the Cancer Council SPF50+ from Coles and Woolworths.
• Leave a few frozen bottles of water in the car. They’ll be defrosted and icey cold ready for you to guzzle and replenish on the way home.
• Turkish Towels – they take up much less room in the beach bag and dry quickly. Grab one from Kmart.
• Invest in a sand friendly tote and beach mat and a mesh bag for beach toys that you can give a good shake before popping in the boot.
• Shade – yes, we know the pop-up tents can be annoying but having a space for kids to snack and take a sun break is super important. Check out the range from Big W.
