Fingal, New South Wales

Fingal is a sleepy coastal fishing village at the mouth of the Tweed River and is just south of tweed Heads and well worth a visit. It is a little beach

community where you will find a general store, dinghy boat hire, art gallery and a caravan park adjacent to a quiet sandy beach. Close to the villages of

Chinderah and Kingscliff this is a popular family destination.

The Fingal lighthouse can be reached with a short walk through remnant coastal rainforest to the headland, where visitors and locals relax to watch

dolphins play and whales travel past during their annual migration season. Cook Island and its marine reserve can be seen just offshore and the area

attracts a variety of bird species and is a favourite with birdwatchers.
