Coastal Walks & Ocean Views

Take a stroll along the Kingscliff to Fingal Head coastal stretch or explore nearby headlands for sweeping ocean views. These easy walks are perfect before or after conference sessions.

Cafés, Dining & Local Flavours

Kingscliff has a growing reputation for great food and relaxed dining. From casual cafés and bakeries to seafood and modern Australian cuisine, there are plenty of options within walking distance of the conference precinct.

Nature & Hinterland Escapes

Just a short drive from Kingscliff, you’ll find lush hinterland landscapes, national parks, and waterfalls. The region offers excellent opportunities for half-day or day trips into nature for those extending their stay.

Marine Life & Coastal Experiences

The Tweed Coast is known for its rich marine environment, with opportunities to spot dolphins and, in season, migrating whales. It’s a great reminder of the aquatic systems that underpin much of the work discussed at 12ASM.
