DUNES OUTLET

What a find just up the F3! The Dunes Outlet, on the sunny Central Coast, is a great bargain spot for beach lovers. With savings up to 50 per cent off the rrp on rashies, swimmers, boardies, tees, shirts and shorts, this place equals outstanding value for money. Stock consists of first-quality discontinued lines, past-season and some seconds, all clearly marked. Aussie-owned Dunes is the major brand here. On our last trip, we saw rash shirts from $10, chlorine-resistant swimmers from $30 and wetsuits up to 50 per cent off recommended prices. There were even some second-hand adults’ and kids’ wetsuits going for a steal from just $50, with an extensive selection of sizes. Surfboards sell here from $200 (that’s 50 per cent off rrp) and body boards are also 25 per cent off. Dunes also has its own line of skin compression garments, which work on lactic acid build-up for athletes, priced at around $100 for long legs and $60 for short legs — that’s up to $80 less than other brands charge for a similar product.
