Salt/Casuarina is a sub-section of Bogangar Beach. Bogangar Beach runs almost due north - south for 8 m from Cudgen Headland and Creek to the rocks, just north of Norries Head. Access in the north is from a car park located just past the bridge over Cudgen Creek. For most of its length it is paralleled by a sealed road about 200 m in from the beach which provides occasional car access to the beach. A single 4 WD access is located just north of Bogangar township for a limited number of permit holders. At the southern end in lee of Norries Head is the relatively new Cabarita Beach development, with Cabarita Beach SLSC established in 1964, and still using temporary premises in renovated Council owned shops in the short shopping street directly behind the southern end of the beach. The beach is backed by a 500 m wide barrier that has been extensively mined for heavy minerals. Bogangar Beach is a double bar system with a rip dominated attached inner bar, a deep tough and an offshore bar cut by periodic rips. Cabarita Beach Surf Club is located at the southern end with slight protection afforded by Norries Head. While this protection lowers waves out of the south, periodic pulses of sand moving around the headland result in elongate bars running past the surf club, usually separated from the beach by a deep trough containing a northward current. Rip currents are a feature of this beach with their location complicated by the variable bar location. Club members perform an average of 8 rescues a year. read more
