The beach itself, as well as the nearby Norries Headland, are popular tourist attractions. [3] The surfing spot to the north of the headland is also very popular.

The first major development in Cabarita Beach was the original Cabarita Hotel, opened on 17 December 1960. [4] The original Cabarita Hotel has since been replaced by a modern, glass, chrome, and concrete structure.

History

Cabarita is an Aboriginal word, which means by the water. David Anderson, a private of the New South Wales Corps was granted land in the Cabarita Beach area in 1795. The area around Cabarita Point was reserved in 1856 for recreation.

Since then, Cabarita Beach has remained a coastal town for its relaxed beach lifestyle.
