Crescent Head Surf Camp was born from the idea of a Byron Bay surfing legend Lester Brien who used to travel from Sydney to Byron Bay in the 60's to discover the beautiful uncrowded surf breaks between the cities.
In the early 1990's Lester decide to start taking people with him on this journey to these remote surf breaks. Being the first surf camp is the reason why we have located ourselves in the best possible area for surf breaks on the NSW coast. The surf breaks are situated in remote National Parks which keeps the crowds down, we are regularly the only ones surfing on some amazing breaks.
There is an abundance of wildlife including, Kangaroos, koalas, dingos, bird life, dolphins and whales when they are passing through.
Crescent Head Surf Camp is situated in the most temperate area on the East Coast of Australia half way between Sydney and Byron Bay it doesn't get as hot and humid as Byron Bay and not as cold as Sydney. The water temp is warm all year round although a 3-2 steamer is recommended in the winter months.
It is a 35min drive to the nearest airport in Port Macquarie.
Crescent Head Surf Camp is a great choice because of the variety of waves we have and the easy access to them making it ideal for beginner, intermediate and experienced surfers . Because we are mobile you will learn much more about conditions (wind, swell tides etc) and most importantly reading the waves and the ocean conditions. All surf breaks are sand bottom except for one.
