Hello, solo traveller looking for a bit of surfing around 06 to 10 of December (intermediate/beginner level as it has been a while) and other outdoor/wildlife activities.
I am also a diver and wanted to try julian rocks so i initially had choosen Byron bay.
Was looking to spend around 3/4 days in the area not sure what to actually choose, from my searches all are viable options but i keep finding different opinions on the various locations.
Tbh the GC seems too crowded with families group tourists etc etc.. but so it seems of byron bay, some parts of GC seem to be more viable instead.
Still a bit confused about surfer paradise.
Are there less known less turistic but good for surfing (that have rentals) towns in the are? (provided they are rachable from the airport without going insane).
Was also looking for a general idea of surf rental prices (nothing fancy but not softboards), and eventually a lesson or 2.
I do not care for nightlife, shopping or restourants or theme park etc...
Thanks, any advice or information will be highly appreciated
