Tweed Elopements on Cabarita Headland, perched high above the Pacific Ocean on the Tweed Coast, is one of our favourite ceremony and photo locations. With sweeping views in every direction, this elevated natural platform delivers drama, beauty, and quiet seclusion – all within walking distance of town.
Surrounded by pandanus palms, native grasses, and coastal cliffs, it’s the perfect blend of wild and accessible. From the headland, you can see down the coastline to Byron Bay, across to the Tweed Hinterland hills, and north to Kingscliff and beyond.
Ceremonies are held right on the grassy headland, ideal for elopements with up to 10 guests. It’s also a popular photo stop for couples getting married nearby at Cabarita Beach, Hastings Point, or Casuarina. The soft light at golden hour? Absolutely stunning.
For couples with little ones, we recommend having extra hands on deck – there are a few natural drop-offs near the edge.
