Whatever your skill level, our beaches have all your SUPing needs covered.
KAYAKING OASIS
Take a more scenic paddle down Theodolite Creek and Elliott River by kayak and bask in the scenic surrounds as you explore these vibrant coastal waterways, keeping your eyes peeled for the various wildlife flying above. If you’re looking for a place to cast the line out put the kayak in at Lake Monduran and try your luck fishing for local Bass and Barramundi.
