Heads and Coolangatta share a main thoroughfare that follows the boundary between NSW and Queensland. The two are commonly referred to as the twin cities and many visitors fly into the region via Queensland and Coolangatta Airport. At the ocean end of Boundary Street is Point Danger, named by Captain Cook as he explored this section of the coast. Here you will find the Captain Cook Memorial, moulded from cast iron actually jettisoned from the Endeavour and recovered in the 1960s.
From Point Danger, you will get views from Surfers Paradise to Byron Bay. Another good place for views is Razorback Lookout, where you can see Mt Warning. Tweed Heads is surrounded by a complicated network of waterways including the Tweed River, Terranora Creek and Terranora Inlet |
