Wedding at Fingal

Couples planning to tie the knot on the beach might not consider having their wedding at Fingal.  Fingal is a quiet little gem of a seaside village. It’s just south of Tweed Heads in New South Wales and is a fabulous spot for a beach wedding away from the hustle and bustle of the Gold Coast.

Why Choose Fingal

The pros of having a wedding at Fingal:

  • Fingal is beautiful. The beaches are broad and sandy and much quieter than Greenmount, Rainbow Bay and other popular beaches nearby. The foreshore reserves are well kept, shady and a great place to get married. Get a permit to use these areas from the Tweed Shire Council website
  • The views are spectacular – north to Post Danger, south to Kingscliff and east to Cook Island. There is also a cute little lighthouse. Fingal is definitely a great spot for those all-important wedding photos
  • It is close to Gold Coast Airport, super handy for guests attending a wedding at Fingal
  • It is only about 90 minutes by road from Brisbane
  • Fingal is very close to the southern end of Queensland’s Gold Coast. Accommodation for guests will never be a problem as the Gold Coast has accommodation options to suit every budget and there is quite a bit of accommodation at Fingal itself
  • There are plenty of reception venues in Tweed Heads and on the Gold Coast. Every size and style of wedding can be accommodated relatively close by. There is one venue, Saltwater, right at Fingal. It has a ceremony area on a deck with sea views and a variety of wedding packages to suit up to 150 guests

The cons of having a wedding at Fingal:

  • The areas in which ceremonies may be held are restricted. Ceremonies are allowed on the main beach and in the foreshore reserve. They are not permitted on the headland near the lighthouse or on nearby Dreamtime Beach
  • Saltwater Restaurant is the only local reception venue for a wedding at Fingal. Guests will need to drive to reach other venues

Alternatives to a Wedding at Fingal

Fingal is beautiful, but there are some other fabulous Gold Coast wedding options you might like to consider. Froggy’s Beach at Rainbow Bay, Coolangatta is a secluded and intimate spot for a ceremony right on the southern end of the Gold Coast. Further north, Currumbin and Broadbeach both have fabulous wide sandy spaces that are great for ceremonies and not too busy. Surfers Paradise and Southport have some lovely places to get married, but don’t have Fingal’s seaside village charm. If standing on sand isn’t your thing, have a look at these Gold Coast wedding parks.
