Just 20 minutes south of Queensland’s Gold Coast and 30 minutes north of Byron Bay, you’ll find the sleepy coastal village of Kingscliff.  The town is home to some really good dining options, one stunning swimming creek, uncrowded beaches and boutique shopping but still has a charming laidback coastal vibe if you want to escape the crowds in Byron. We spoke to the delightful Emma Henderson, co-founder and creative director of The Beach People, who lives at Kingscliff with her husband Josh and their three girls, Daisy, Lulu and Fern. Emma kindly shared her local’s tips and favourite haunts for those looking for a weekend beach escape or a chilled family holiday with their tribe.
