About Tweed Heads
Tweed Heads is a vibrant coastal town that offers an unmissable blend of laid-back surfer culture and rich history. The standout attraction is the Tweed River, which flows gently into the ocean, providing a picturesque backdrop for fishing and water sports. Travellers love the unique experience of crossing the border into New South Wales, a quirky tradition that is done on foot or by car, without needing to stop for customs.
The best time to visit Tweed Heads is during the warmer months, from September to April, when the weather is mild and sunny. For first-timers, a practical tip is to take a stroll along the Tweed River Boardwalk, which offers stunning views of the river and surrounding landscape, and is a great way to get your bearings in this charming coastal town.
