The scenery changes every couple of minutes as you head through a tunnel of remnant coastal rainforest, down along the popular surfing pointbreaks framing Diamond Beach and up onto the headland where you get uninterrupted views to the north and south.
It’s interesting to learn that Norries Headland was originally an island with waves sweeping between the rocks and the mainland in bad weather. The rock wall that now protects the spit and forms the cove was installed by the sand miners who mined the Tweed Coast’s beaches for rutile and other minerals in the 1950s and 60s.
not to mention providing great viewing points on the walk to Norries Headland.
Maggies Beach
Maggies Beach is located on the NSW Tweed Coast and is known for its beautiful white sands and crystal clear waters. Situated to the south of Norries Head, the beach faces ESE and runs south for approximately 2.5km towards Hastings Point and the Cudgera Creek entrance. It is fairly open and exposed, which causes strong rips and currents, and the northern corner near Norries Head provides some protection from NE winds. There is a park at the northern end that provides good facilities such as BBQs, toilets, showers and a picnic area, and is a great place to take in the surrounding scenery and spend a few hours.
