A Gold Coast beach that has changed little in the last 10 years, still offering a quiet, family-friendly beautiful beach close to the surf action at Duranbah and Snapper Rocks. Great views from Danger Point and the little art cafe at the top serves great food.

I have traveled extensively and this stretch of beach beats plenty others I have seen, including Santa Monica, Hoi An, and others. If you are escaping the colder climates of Australia and beyond, this beach will be all you need to feel fantastic. Beautiful clean sand, gorgeous rolling surf, superb sunrises and moonrises, all patrolled by Australia’s famous surf life savers. Ideal for romantic strolls along the beach. Don’t forget to swim between the red and yellow flags, and bring your sunscreen and hat. Who says there is nothing to do? Just enjoy the world class beach and stunning vistas.

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!

Great autumn visit, clean safe and warm wter for families to swim in with life guards on hand if needed and plenty of surfers to watch as the day goes by. Head around the corner to watch the sun rise and set.
