Our room was delightful, brand new, all the amenities and more and a lovely relaxing spot. Have already recommended it to others and will be back again soon ourselves."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ocean Shores?
The best area to stay in Ocean Shores is the coastal strip along Ocean Shores Beach, particularly around North Ocean Shores.

This area provides easy access to the expansive, uncrowded beachfront, great for long walks or morning swims. It's a primarily residential area, offering a quiet escape with a focus on natural beauty. The main access points to the beach are well-marked, and you'll find a few local cafes and shops scattered within easy reach.

For couples seeking a relaxing getaway, staying near the beach in North Ocean Shores is ideal. You'll wake up to the sound of the ocean, enjoy peaceful strolls along the sand, and have opportunities for stargazing away from city lights. The focus here is on unwinding and enjoying each other's company in a beautiful, natural setting.

Families will also appreciate the space and calm of the beachside areas. The wide-open beach provides plenty of room for children to play, build sandcastles, and enjoy the water in a relaxed environment.
When is the best time to go to Ocean Shores?
The best times to visit Ocean Shores are during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

Autumn offers warm, sunny days with milder evenings, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities without the peak summer heat. The ocean temperatures are still comfortable for swimming and surfing. It's a great time for couples looking for a relaxed getaway, perhaps enjoying coastal walks or exploring the nearby Byron Bay hinterland.

Spring brings similar comfortable weather, with fewer tourists than the summer months. The landscape is lush and green, and it's an excellent time for whale watching as humpback whales migrate along the coast. Families will find this period particularly appealing, as the beaches are less crowded, and there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun without the intensity of the summer holiday rush.

While summer (December to February) is popular for its hot weather and vibrant beach scene, it also sees the largest crowds and highest prices.
