Urunga Boardwalk — Attraction in Urunga

Timing my strolls for high tide, dawn or dusk, set the scene for picturesque camera shots, not to mention the breathtaking moments of sheer and natural beauty. I swaggered along this peaceful boardwalk, sometimes in company, sometimes blissfully alone, seven times in total during my stay in Urunga, and I must say, the beauty of The Lido scenery with its magnificent backdrop views of the sea to the East, mountains to the West, and fresh clean River system to the North, fill your eyes with an array of different colours everytime.

There is a fresh clean tidal pool here for the young and old alike.

Plenty of fishing spots.

A well equipped children's playground.

Clean and tidy BBQ areas with free electric hot plates and undercover seating.

There are stairs to wander down onto the sand (low tide) or splash through shallow water looking for fish etc. The boardwalk splits halfway so you can see more mangroves etc. There are repair works on a set of the stairs, and you can see where more maintenance is needed. Picturesque, tranquil and photogenic. Would highly recommend visiting this area if...
