Head South from Tweed along M1 Pacific Highway - take Fingal exit - continue along Fingal Road till you get to lighthouse carpark - walk along lighthouse track - turn right along dreamtime track before you get to lighthouse + Drive to Fingal headland, walk on the grass near the carpark towards the huge rock, follow the path in the bush, when the path finishes turn left and then follow that path until you see a sign called dreamtime.
Park in lighthouse carpark - easy to find. It's a standard north coast beachy and like D'bah picks up way more swell than most of the Gold Coast as it faces south. It's a long beach so just search for a good peak. People reckon sharks but never seen one there. No greater shark risk than anywhere else in the area.
If you want to go to fingal climb up the rock and go down the hill. Dont paddle around! To get there you can also go to Fingal headland carpark, hop out and go to the pathway until there's a sign called dreamtime and you're there.
Overview
Atmosphere
Isolated feeling during the week in winter. Looks out to Cook Island.
General
Almost as good as D'bah but probably best option coz nowhere near as many dudes. Probably surf it empty mostly.
Awesome place
Dreamtime is my favourite beach in the world, cause usally you get to swim with dolphins and its just a really cool place with a good vibe. Just remember to be patient and you'll score.

wedgy
when swell is right direction, get a rebound and double up off northern rocks, which makes for fun wedge. was good fun when i was little booger boy. grew up & learnt to stand up, would love to come back and try it.
