Lighthouse Beach offers excellent swimming and surfing conditions, and has been noted as one of the best surf beaches on the east coast. Wander along the beach. During the week, or early in the morning you may be lucky enough to be the only person on the beach. At the end of your private rainforest, enjoy a commanding view over the beach. Direct beach access varies as it is in the hands of mother nature with more convenient access by the nearby boardwalk
