The Gold Coast’s southern beach town, home to Snapper Rocks and the Superbank.
Coolangatta sits at the southern tip of the Gold Coast beside the New South Wales border. Its beaches run from Rainbow Bay and Snapper Rocks, which Experience Gold Coast describes as the first part of the Superbank surf break, through Greenmount to Coolangatta Beach. City of Gold Coast describes Greenmount as a wide, sheltered beach better suited to beginner and intermediate board riders, and the Oceanway runs along the beach and around the headland. Apex Park overlooks Snapper Rocks, Rainbow Bay and Froggies Beach, with barbecues, picnic tables, showers and toilets. Check Beachsafe and council pages for current patrol and safety information before swimming.
