"Currumbin's beaches form a lovely balance between a family destination - with sheltered off, shark-netted swimming areas and nearby parks ideal for barbecues - with a great spot for surfers and other watersports enthusiasts offered by Currumbin Alley. Affectionately dubbed simply "The Alley", it is a surf break that can often be crowded due to it being surfable in almost any conditions - long-boarders will delight in the smaller days, while other surfers will be able to take advantage of some great right-hand waves available towards the point. Relatively fast, long waves can be caught when the swell is up that are perfect for lots of turns while also being relatively forgiving."

"Currumbin is a beautiful beach that has a distinct aura from the other beaches in Gold coast. The majestic waterway of the Currumbin Creek is linked to pristine, beautiful rainforest mountains of Queensland in the west. With a fabulous right-hand surf break for the longboard surf riders, this beach is a real paradise for the adventure lovers."

"Chic Kirra/Coolangatta restaurant Baskk was the coolest thing to ever hit the Coolie area. But from early-July, it turned Italian!. Occupying prime position along Coolangatta’s beachfront with views over Greenmount Beach, the owners decided to turn the restaurant into a pizza and pasta restaurant."

"Kirra Point's small rocky headland serves to separate Kirra Beach on the North from the main Coolangatta beach to the south, and is often regarded as one of the world's premier surf breaks, with multiple surfing competitions - both professional and amateur - held here throughout the year. With some of the best and most diverse surfing conditions along the Gold Coast, smaller surf can be found closer to the shore that is ideal for both swimming and beginning board riders, while outside the flags there are more challenging surf breaks further out that can sometimes become crowded due to their popularity with surfers. Another reason to visit Kirra Beach is not only the beach itself, but also the range of beautiful Gold Coast scenery that it has to offer with scenic footpaths, headland, golden sand and greenery all combining to make it a picturesque locale."

"This small rocky headland among the Gold coast beaches is one of the world’s premier surf breaks. Owing to its boomerang shaped structure, it is believed that Kirra beach was named after a boomerang by the Aboriginal people of Queensland. With high cascading waves and the breaks, this beach has the perfect natural conditions for surfing on the water."

TOP TIP – Cape Byron Lighthouse is a lot busier on the weekend, so if you can I would come midweek."

The airy venue creates an absolutely dreamlike atmosphere for your morning coffee. We’ve got our eyes on the winter breakfast salad, served with roasted baby carrots, quinoa, mushrooms, kale, tomato and Japanese carrot and ginger dressing."
