Reef-bright

absolutely no smoking anywhere on the property.
Beachside Caravan Park
( 07-4939 3738; Farnborough Rd; unpowered/powered site $25/30-34)
This basic but neat little camping
ground north of the town centre commands a wonderful, totally beachfront location. It has
good amenities and grassed sites with some shade but no cabins or on-site vans. Rates are
for two people.

Surfside Motel
( 07-4939 1272; 30 Anzac Pde; r $110-140; )
Across the road from the beach and close
to town, this 1950s strip of lime-green motel units epitomises summer holidays at the
beach. And it's terrific value - the rooms are spacious and unusually well equipped, com-
plete with toaster, hair dryer and free wi-fi.
