It is the closest beach to drive to from Canberra.<\/p>\n<p>The conditions at Surfside beach are variable, from safe family-friendly swimming to large and powerful waves. It is a beach worth exploring and can be a great place to swim, snorkel, kayak or do many other water sports. It is a great place to relax.<\/p>\n<p>Accommodation options are plentiful across the suburb. There is an IGA with takeaway at the beach side Vista, a hairdresser and more. Several tour operators and other businesses call Surfside home.<\/p>\n<p>Surfside is the gateway to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au\/visit-a-park\/parks\/cullendulla-creek-nature-reserve\/visitor-info\">Cullundulla Nature Reserve<\/a>, a wonderful place to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Surfside is a great place to live, work and play.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1989 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-marching-soldier-crabs-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-marching-soldier-crabs-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-marching-soldier-crabs-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-marching-soldier-crabs-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-marching-soldier-crabs-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-marching-soldier-crabs.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOLDIER CRABS MARCH AT SURFSIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sandra Samsa captured some great photos and video of Surfside&#8217;s soldier crab population doing their regular marching display.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Sandra for permission to publish these files. <a href=\"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/news\/\">See more..<\/a><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;32px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_goo_maps location=&#8221;Myamba Pde, Surfside NSW 2536&#8243; height=&#8221;500&#8243; zoom=&#8221;13&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInDown&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row bg_type=&#8221;image&#8221; parallax_style=&#8221;vcpb-vz-jquery&#8221; bg_image_new=&#8221;id^1468|url^https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/15a-myamba-parade-surfside-nsw-2536-real-estate-photo-2-large-11287448.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^15a-myamba-parade-surfside-nsw-2536-real-estate-photo-2-large-11287448|description^null&#8221; bg_image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; bg_override=&#8221;ex-full&#8221; enable_overlay=&#8221;enable_overlay_value&#8221; overlay_color=&#8221;#34421E45&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1783164743177{padding-top: 150px !important;padding-bottom: 150px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1779770731922{padding-top: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;32px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_goo_maps location=&#8221;Myamba Pde, Surfside NSW 2536&#8243; height=&#8221;500&#8243; zoom=&#8221;13&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInDown&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-252","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252"}],"version-history":[{"count":40,"href":"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2036,"href":"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/252\/revisions\/2036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendsofsurfsidebeach.org.au\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
