Graced with magnificent ocean beaches, Coolangatta was the pacesetter in the
Gold Coast’s drive to international resort pre-eminence.
Coolangatta
retains its historic links with its twin city on the NSW side of the border,
Tweed Heads. Indeed, Coolangatta offers the best of all tourist worlds - superb
surf, the lure of the Gold Coast, and the tranquility of the Tweed Valley
and rainforest hinterland.
The coast-hugging walkway round the bluff above Rainbow Bay presents magnificent
views of the ocean and the Tweed River mouth, and skirts the Captain Cook
Memorial and Lighthouse on Point Danger. The outdoor recreations of surfing,
swimming, fishing, bowls and golf dominate the Coolangatta-Tweed Heads lifestyle.
Most southerly resort on the Gold Coast. Across the mouth of the Tweed River in NSW is twin town of Tweed Heads. Coolangatta is Aboriginal for ‘beautiful place’.
