Surf and Camp Beachfront Retreat on Australia's East Coast

Mojosurf has been running surf camps since 1998, and Spot X is their award-winning base on the New South Wales coast. It's a dedicated surf camp in the town of Arrawarra, set in a National Marine Park known for its learner-friendly beaches. The camp is simple and comfortable—shared cabins and tipis, a kitchen, laundry, and common areas where people naturally end up talking about the day's waves.

Each morning starts with breakfast, then the first surf lesson of the day. Lessons are led by experienced instructors and cater to all levels, including complete beginners who have never touched a board. Over the five days there's one surf lesson daily, plus two extra sessions called Surf X-pression, designed to build confidence and technique. A daily yoga class helps with stretching out sore shoulders and backs after a day of paddling.

The camp runs a fully-inclusive package: three meals a day prepared by an in-house chef, water, tea, and coffee whenever you want it, and all transport between the camp and the activities. Evenings are for relaxing—people gather around the campfire, play games, and share stories under the stars.

The social side is a big part of the appeal. With an average of 100 surfers at the camp at a time, mostly aged 18 to 35, you'll meet plenty of people. Solo travellers are common, and the staff make an effort to create a welcoming atmosphere. It's not a luxury retreat—it's a fun, energetic surf camp where the main attractions are the waves, the beach, and the company.
