A 180 million year old Jurassic fossil forest, rare penguins and dolphins, magnificent sea lions and seals, and safe family beaches await you.

Curio Bay
Catlins Surf caters for your ability and interests.
Curio Bay is the perfect place to learn to surf as there is always small surf in the corner of the bay. I have been surf coaching here for 14 years. Most of my students are first time surfers and I like to teach them in the small green unbroken waves, not in the big white water as it's much harder that way.
Didn't bring your surfing equipment? If you are an experienced surfer visiting Curio Bay, you don't want to miss the opportunity to surf at this ideal spot. At Catlins Surf you can hire all the surfing equipment you will need.
