Ocean Shores, New South Wales
Summary
Ocean Shores is a coastal town in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia with Billinudgel to the north and South Golden Beach and New Brighton to the east of the town. Established in 1977, Ocean Shores was originally a land holding owned by Wendell West of Washington with backing from American singer Pat Boone, and was named after Boone's residence in Ocean Shores, Washington. It is located in the Brunswick Valley – a valley including the towns of Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads. The town has a local shopping complex and a large golf course. At the 2016 census, Ocean Shores had a population of 5,137 people.
Ocean Shores has a subtropical climate. Summer is generally warm to hot with a few days reaching above 30 degrees. Winter is cool to mild with around two days under 14 degrees. Normal day maximums are around 20 degrees. Spring and autumn are mild to warm, with maximums around 25 and higher with few days below it. Winds come from all directions which means there are warm northerly days or mild southerly days. Spring is dry and windy. Thunderstorms are also common in summer.
Southern Ocean Shores is located on the edge of the Brunswick River catchment, which means most of the terrain is elevated and has sea views. Northern Ocean Shores is located on mostly flat land on the beach. The north arm of the Brunswick River weaves through the north of the town.
Ocean Shores Public School and Ocean Shores Pre-School are located in Ocean Shores North. Ocean Shores Public School was established in 1993 after relocating the Billinudgel Public School to the new school at Ocean Shores.
A canal called 'Capriconia Canal' runs through Ocean Shores North and connects to Yelgun Creek. Most of Ocean Shores North lies next to the Billinudgel Nature Reserve.
Ocean Shores is located on the New South Wales side of the New South Wales/Queensland border with Billinudgel to the north and South Golden Beach and New Brighton to the east of the town. Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, is closer than Sydney, the capital of New South Wales.
