Not only do we have the pleasure of numerous National Parks along our coastline we are also prevlidged to have one of only 9 World Surfing Reserve's across Australia, Merewether Beach.

The ethical and sustainable management of our coastlines is the right and responsibility of every individual and/or business that uses it. As a community, we must ensure that this remains true.
