What a beautiful beach! With the surf club on the doorstep and kids' play area not too far away, a walk on the beach was the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Life savers were on duty and the water was a beautiful blue, with gentle waves. Loved it!

This well maintained park is well used as it is beautifully maintained and spacious. So many families use it for picnics, walks, ball games and it also has a great playground for young to mid age lids. We took the grandkids with their skipping ropes and frisbees and they had a fabulous time. The adjoining Kurrawa Surf Club is available for snacks and coffee.

Decided to experience the movie's on a whole new platform. "Bad Boy's For Life" was a great action movie to fully enjoy the 4Dx experience. Wind, rain, vibration and movement all part of the amazing ride during the movie. Highly recommended and will definitely go again for the next big action blockbuster!
