The locality name is Cabarita Beach after a housing estate developed in the 1960’s, but the original, and postal name for this pretty little town is Bogangar, an Aboriginal word meaning ‘place of many pippies’, which refers to the ancient ceremonial shell middens in the area. With large areas of protected wetlands, Cabarita has only limited development, creating a quiet, relaxed holiday atmosphere. Bounded by Nature Reserve to the north and west and the Pacific Ocean to the east, this typical coastal village of some 3500+ residents represents a unique lifestyle.
