Beaches and Natural Attractions

You can teach the kids how to fish at Currumbin Creek, catch a wave at renowned surf spot “The Alley,” or try your hand at stand up paddle boarding, snorkelling or diving in the pristine local waters.
Currumbin Alley (known to locals as “the Alley”) is one of the most famous breaks on the Gold Coast with very consistent, world-class waves. This is a great spot to learn to surf as it is protected from Southerly onshore winds. Currumbin Alley Surf School offers year-round surfing lessons in groups or one-on-one.
Elephant Rock and Currumbin Rock are fascinating remnants from ancient volcanic activity. Climb to the top, see what you can find in the tranquil rockpool surrounds at low tide, and snap a sunset picture with the iconic Gold Coast city skyline as the backdrop. Currumbin Beach also hosts the Swell Sculpture Festival each year, where a multitude of breathtaking art installations are set up along the sand to be enjoyed by all.
