Surfing
Its a pretty special day for Husky locals when the waves pick up on the door step of the Hotel, but it doesnt happen very often! Nearby south facing Caves Beach in Boooderee National Park generally gets some nice waves or a short trip around the corner to Culburra is home to surfing champ siblings – The Wrights.
