Dreamtime Beach, as its Indigenous-inspired name suggests, does leave beach goers wistful. It’s full of wonderment as a stunning stretch of sand to relax on and really celebrate the senses, refresh the spirit and experience a superb gift of nature in a seemingly far-away setting. It was the land of the Minjungbal people.
Remarkably this long quiet beach is less than 15 minutes from the heart of busy Tweed Heads on the QLD/NSW border. It’s a 5km gently curving beach with generously vegetated wide pristine sands south to the delightful Tweed Coast village of Kingscliff.

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 Rainbow Bay Surf Club is the best place to view the break while enjoying a relaxed meal.

There’s plenty of character to be had in one of the Gold Coast’s most laid-back beach destinations and home to Kirra Surf which surfies consider the one-stop shop for surf gear. This is not a place for glitz and glamour, you’ll still find plenty of weatherboard beach shacks here among the burgeoning apartment scene. There’s also a cute café scene emerging here but for a true taste of Kirra, head to the iconic Kirra Beach Hotel which has been trading for more than 50 years. There’s even accommodation upstairs in this pub offering views of the ocean and the Gold Coast foreshore. There may be variations on what Kirra means, but like a boomerang, you’ll just keep coming back
