It's Beach Time! - Fox and Beau's Beach BBQ Inspiration!


It has been such a temperamental winter here in Australia, one day you can be dusting off your bathers and beach towel on a 26 degree day, only to walk out the door and have it rain and blow a chilly gale under your new sundress.

This year, we have found some of the loveliest beaches to visit in Australia, the best accessories and beach entertaining that will make your beach barbecue the best ever!

Country Road produce some gorgeous beach towels for under $70.
If you are having a beach BBQ Party, decorate it up with some paper decorations and
produce your utensils in an old vintage suitcase that you can get from Vinnies.
Beautiful bright yellow screen printed napkins and metal picnic cups from Ruby Star Traders.

You can buy Biodegradable cutlery made from balsa wood and multicolured plastic wine glasses.
They look so much better than those boring clear glasses! Also, paper straws add a little quirkiness to your drinks!


Fox and Beau's Favourite beaches!

Wategos Beach- One of the most popular up near Byron for a reason, it's beautiful! A nice flat beach with a bundle of happy tourists. Make sure you walk there from Byron Bay main beach, the view is amazing!



Hungry Head, NSW- A beautiful long beach on the mid north coast of NSW. Around September/October The beach is usually nice and quiet, you'll have it all to yourself.

Flynns Beach - Port Macquarie produces some beautiful cove beaches. I was lucky to stay right next to Flynns Beach on the weekend and even on a stormy day the water was crystal blue!

Whale Beach, NSW- A local favourite of Amy at Fox and Beau. There are plenty of BBQ's, good atmosphere and a coffee shop, in case you need that little pick me up.



Noosa Main Beach, QLD - On a summers night, a dusk dip on Noosa main beach is lovely. After walking down from the rainforest boardwalk, all you want to do is refresh yourself in the beautiful pink reflected water.

Wattamolla Beach, NSW - Perfect on a quiet day off. This beach is so small and secluded, you really only want to share it with your closest. Avoid it on a hot summers day and public holiday, but when you do go, you'll never want yo leave!

Unfortunately we haven't had the pleasure of experiencing the beautiful beaches on the west coast of Australia, but please if you have any suggestions feel free to comment below!
