One of the best beach views from a Surf life saver club on the coast!…read moreThe club has 270 degree views of the ocean, beach and Currumbin headland from the entrance to the outside balcony. Great value drinks and food, we had the seafood basket and beef burger, both were quality pub food. I'd highly recommend this places to anyone in the area looking for lunch/dinner with a view. It gets busy at times so best to book ahead to secure the window front or balcony tables.

As such, it is pretty close to all of the facilities, and there is a rather nice park next to it as well. Yet, as a beach, it is really nothing all that spectacular, unless of course you like beaches that tend to attract a lot of people, particularly since there does happen to be quite a few large hotels near by. In any event, if you happen to be down here, and like beaches, then this place is convenient.

In fact, this particular beach, for its location, turn out to be rather quiet and unassuming, which is probably a good thing if you are actually looking for such a beach. Then again, I did happen to turn up here in winter so there is that. Still, compared with the other beaches along this stretch of coast, this would be one to preference if you don't particularly appreciate the crowds.

Palm Beach is a dog-friendly beach and a prime spot for off-leash beach frivolity for your canine. Similarly, there's an inlet with relatively calm water for kids to swim in.

I prefer a less crowded beach where you don't deal with parking issues, but it was well worth our time for a brief visit. I personally was moved by the Anzac memorials. My dad was a career soldier in the USArmy and he speaks fondly of the ANZAC troops that he served with. The handicapped work there was also a point of joy for me. There are volunteers to put you in a sand and seaworthy wheel chair. Such joy!

It is quieter than some of the other beaches, not that I'm much of an expert considering that I was down here in Winter, though of course winter in Queensland is a little different to winter in Melbourne.

Only three beaches are patrolled in the southern part of the Gold Coast and this is one of them. It normally is very safe. There are open cold water showers at the beach ,change rooms and toilets at the beach. There are numerous coffee shops and restaurants along Marine Parade.

Then again, I wasn't the only person wandering around here on a brisk winter morning, and I certainly wasn't the youngest. So, I wouldn't quite say that this is where the border between Queensland and New South Wales meets, but it is pretty close, and it is a nice place for a stroll. Well, if you're into surfing it seems that surfers also quite like this place as well, though I'm not one of them.

The water is very deep and the rocks are incredibly dangerous...maybe it is the thrill of it all but I'd rather my dingy with a life jacket.ha I noticed that there were a number of serious surfers who were in family groups. A number of times I saw the serious surfy dads in their mid to late 40s with their grown up children, all paddling out to get that monstrous wave. However not too far out from the shore was a huge whale bobbing in out of the rough waves. With the sun streaming down and the glorious heat this was a wonderful sight to see. People were gathering on the beach, on the rocks and at the nearby lookout to see this majestic mammal. The lifesavers were very busy watching from a distance and the marine helicopter flew over just checking on the people. A fantastic spot to be just at the right time. You can't get any better..sun and the surf!
