We spent a fair amount of time on the beach in Kingscliff, going on at one of the points at which there was a lifeguard crew. They sit in the little trailer on the left. What one does not typically do at an Aussie beach is swim One can go out on a surfboard or simply paddle out a bit on a boggie boards (about 1/4 the length of a surfboard). Unfortunately we forgot ours so I have not tried that yet. But the most common activity is simply to walk out a while and wait til one gets smashed by a big wave or wait for a big wave and leap or dive through it. It is not always easy to remain upright- the waves are fairly powerful- and often the sand around one's feet washes away leaving one on a precarious little platform. I gather that on some beaches with the right surf body surfing is possible. That was done a bit at this beach but again I have not tried it.
