Currumbin
Currumbin is a photographer's paradise with spectacular views both north and south. With numerous vantage points including Currumbin Rock, Elephant Rock and Currumbin Hill Lookout, this is a great spot to enjoy expansive views of the Southern Gold Coast.
Currumbin has a unique character – where the bush meets the beach with a bustling beachside village of boutique shops and cafes along Pacific Parade. After a light meal take a drive 15mins west and you’ll find amazing sub-tropical rainforests, National Parks, rock pools and rockslides to explore.
Kite-surfing, Kayaking, Board riding, Surf-Ski’s and Stand-Up Board Paddling are a few of the activities for which Currumbin Alley is famous. The gentle surf and small rock pools make this area's beaches popular with young families and water sports enthusiasts alike. Elephant Rock and Currumbin Rock enclose a popular surfing beach.
After a busy morning workout at the beach, sit back and quench your thirst at any one of the many cafes or Currumbin Vikings Surf Life Saving Club, where you can sit out over the ocean and soak up the amazing views. You can even try your hand at a spot of fishing along the picturesque Currumbin Creek Estuary.
