Scamander

The idyllic seaside town of Scamander is only 20 minutes south of St Helens and the beach there is a favourite all year round and the home of the local Surf Life Saving Club. Scamander Beach offers up all sorts of outdoor fun. Take a dip in the crystal clear waters or you can choose to surf the Tasman Sea’s breaks. And at Scamander Beach, you’ll find the mouth of the Scamander River which is full of Sea Bream waiting to bite at your bait.

Things to see and do in Scamander include:

• Eureka Farm - delicious homemade berry jams, sauces and more.
• Swims East Coast Coffee - a new and popular coffee stop just across from the beach.
• Rivermouth Cafe - Fish and Chips, coffee, food, takeaway, stunning Views, outdoor balcony overlooking the playground, skatepark and beach.
• Surfing Scamander is known as the Surf Coast. If Scamander Beach is too populated with boards, just head down the coast to find another spot. This stretch of coast has reliable surf, wide breaks and long beaches with soft sand perfect for the adventurous.
• Scamander River Golf Club - a well-maintained par 72, nine-hole course.

It's all just a short drive from BIG4 St Helens, making it a perfect day trip while you are staying with us.
