\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>Look outside of the usual Gold Coast haunts you will find less crowded line ups.<\/strong> You can choose between surfing with dolphins at Byron Bay or discovering uncrowded beach breaks as you travel along the coast. Go and explore. Here are some classic east coast destinations.The combination of geography, weather and surf culture has made Australia\u2019s east coast one of the most popular places on Earth for surfers.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> 200 kilometres south of Sydney the south coast stretches from Wollongong through Shoalhaven down through Ulladulla.\u00a0The Shoalhaven region has some of Australia\u2019s best surfing spots to suit all styles and abilities. Aussie\u00a0Pipe and Bawley Point are a couple of the\u00a0heaviest waves on the east coast, but there are\u00a0plenty of\u00a0uncrowded beach breaks, reefs and points to\u00a0explore. The local surf\u00a0culture is fun and relaxed. There are plenty of waves to be caught all year round and often a surfer can have the\u00a0water all to themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n Another surf town off the beaten path. Coffs Harbour is 527km north of Sydney, about six-hours drive or there are daily flights from Sydney (1 hour), Brisbane (45 minutes) and Melbourne (2 hours). Six different beaches offer sandy bottomed point breaks that can handle big swells along with beach breaks to suit everyone from groms to superstars. Coffs Harbour has a great surf community with miles of unspoilt beaches. Definitely one to visit.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> Once a small hippy town Byron Bay has grown into one of Australia\u2019s must visit surf towns. With stretches of beach and the Pass a long point nearby it has a bubbling community and very hip bars, cafes and places to stay. There are also festivals and plenty of art and music to keep you entertained apres surf.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are thinking about tropical points, long mellow rides, or great beach breaks and miles of crowded coastline then the Sunshine Coast is for you.\u00a0\u00a0From\u00a0classic leg buckling points in Noosa, to hard to get to classics like Double Island point\u00a0the\u00a0Sunshine Coast has it all and\u00a0with a much mellower vibe than the Goldie.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> Great east coast road trips were once the stuff of legend. Flying into\u00a0Sydney or Brisbane buy a van and then drive down or up the\u00a0coast was\u00a0the way to see\u00a0the east coast of Australia. With more flights\u00a0people are now more likely to fly into one of the major\u00a0airports and just hang out in\u00a0Sydney or the Gold Coast. But with\u00a0over 800 miles of coastline to explore between the Sunshine Coast of Queensland and Ulladulla in NSW they are missing out on so many gems,\u00a0beach side campsites, empty waves and\u00a0experiences the road trip provides. <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> Locations: Sydney, Thirroul and Bendalong in New South Wales<\/p>\n \u201cMore Than Just a Surf Camp\u201d.
