Occidental Holiday

Occidental Beach Holiday

Salty sea air and spectacular ocean views are just the start of things to look forward to on your Occidental holiday. If you want to save on your trip to Occidental, here's how to do it — choose one of our Occidental holiday packages. Grab one close to Shell Beach, only 14 kilometres from the centre of town and a must-see while here. Alternatively, select a package that puts you closer to Blind Beach, another beautiful stretch of coastline. Whichever you choose, you'll be left with extra dollars in your travel budget to spend.
