It’s a 20 minute drive but if you want a change of scenery, head down to Coolangatta and make sure
You grab some gelato from Messina - definitely the best on the coast! (In my opinion...) 😊

Our local - we spend hours down here, every day! Great for kids and adults! Lovely walk from the west side of the highway, under the bridge to the estuary entrance where you can walk out along the rock wall. Alternatively, walk across the bridge and around Burleigh Headland to access the quiet beaches on the northern side of the creek - doesn’t matter where you go, it’s all beautiful!

Walk over or around the Headland to Burleigh Heads - Ocean walk, easy walk, amazing views! Mountain walk (still not difficult, I do it with my grandkids who are 4, 5 and 6) has a great lookout at the top - spot the whales and dolphins ❤️
