Beach
Sparkling creek which is framed by the Burleigh Heads National Park on one side and Palm Beach on the other. This is the focal point for any visit to Tallebudgera where the lifestyle is all about camping, swimming, picnicking, kayaking and a spot of fishing or two.
While the waters in the creek are renowned for their relative calm, those seeking surf need only walk to nearby Tallebudgera Beach for a few waves.

Currumbin Beach is one of the jewels in the Gold Coast’s crown, regularly voted Queensland’s cleanest beach and within the World Surfing Reserve. The crystal clear water of Currumbin extends from the famous Elephant Rock lookout and the iconic Currumbin Vikings Surf Club, north to Currumbin Rock (The Rock) on the south side of the Currumbin Creek Estuary.
Currumbin Beach is patrolled year-round by the legendary Currumbin Beach Life Saving Club, which has a proud history since its establishment in 1919. East-facing Currumbin Beach is less sheltered than its north-facing counterparts like Greenmount or Kirra, and so it’s break tends to be large and multi-directional.
Currumbin Beach, Gold Coast
Beside The Rock is Currumbin Creek’s entrance to the ocean, known as The Alley, marked by Lifeguard Tower 12. This protected and patrolled haven popular with swimmers, surfers and families, is perfect for water sports of all types. The Alley offers very consistent, world-class waves and a pristine right-hand break wonderful for advanced surfers, but the easier inside waves are also suited for beginner surfers, longboard riders and body surfers.
It’s common knowledge that even on flat low-swell days, there are always waves to be caught at the Alley. This is a perfect place to learn to surf as it is protected from southerly onshore winds. You’ll find a number of options for surf lessons, just look for the vans in the car park, including Currumbin Alley Surf School (which offers group or individual surfing lessons), Surfing Services Australia and Surf Easy Surf School.

Snapper Rocks is a small rocky outcrop on the northern side of Point Danger at the southern end of Rainbow Bay on the Gold Coast. Snapper is a point break forming the first part of the man-made Superbank which extends from Snapper Rocks Point, through Rainbow Bay, Greenmount Point, Coolangatta Beach, and Kirra, for a distance of around two kilometres.
The Superbank is now renowned as one of the most consistent breaks in Queensland and plays host to the annual World Surf Leagues’ Quiksilver and Roxy Pros. Multiple barrel sections can now occur at any point along this length. The quality of the surf has markedly improved since the 1990s, and is now of legendary quality, creating one of the longest, hollowest and best waves in the world.
The Rainbow Bay Surf Club is the best place to view the break while enjoying a relaxed meal.
