Great place to lie on the beach, paddle board and kayak on Currumbin creek which runs into the ocean. The Currumbin Creek waterway and the Alley, the entrance to the ocean, offer a protected and patrolled haven for all kinds of active water sports.
There is good Flathead and Bream fishing off the rock wall or Taylor off the beach. Currumbin also has a gorgeous right-hand surf break which is a specialty for graceful longboard riders.

Walking Tracks – Tamborine Mountain National Park Tamborine National Park on Tamborine Mountain (Mt Tamborine, Mount Tamborine) is situated in the Gold Coast Hinterland (“The green behind the gold”). Walking tracks are provided in six sections of Tamborine National Park. Most walking tracks are short and can be walked within a few hours. The walks are relatively easy although some tracks have short, steep grades. At usual walking pace, 3km takes about an hour. If you are walking with young children, or if you are birdwatching or taking photographs, allow some extra time. Cedar Creek Falls track – 900m return to lookout, 900m return to the rock pools (Allow 20-30 minutes) Easy grade. Access to this visitor area is via Cedar Creek Falls Road (Coming from Tamborine Mountain and heading down, take Tamborine Mountain Road (Route 95) and do a
right turn at the sharp left hand bend. — ** Please note that it is Cedar Creek FALLS Road and NOT Cedar Creek Road). The track to the lookout is suitable for strollers and assisted wheelchair access. The lookout o ers views of waterfalls, cascades and rock pools. The section from the lookout to the rock pools is not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. For your safety, access is not permitted to some of the rock pools and parts of the gorge, as indicated by signs on site.
Palm Grove Rainforest Circuit – 2.6km circuit (Allow 1 hour) Easy grade. Piccabeen palm groves and rainforest with emergent strangler gs and distinctively buttressed yellow carabeens feature on this walk. Palm Grove Avenue is the main access point and carpark for this track. Parking for buses and caravans is not available.
Curtis Falls, Joalah section – 1.5km return ( Allow 30 minutes) Moderate grade. Joalah is an Aboriginal word meaning “haunt of the lyrebird”. The track starts from the Dapsang Drive carpark. It is also possible to start at the shops on Eagle Heights Road, adding an extra 800m return to the walk. On this track you will walk through rainforest and descend steep stairs to a large pool at the base of Curtis Falls. There is an impressive view of the falls and surrounding columnar basalt rockface. Swimming is prohibited at the falls. A restricted access area below Curtis Falls protects an important glow-worm colony. The track continues from the falls, along a piccabeen palm-fringed creek to a giant strangler g. Beyond this strangler g, the lower Joalah track is closed for your safety due to rockfalls.

Set on a historical piece of land, the museum contains a nationally significant collection of the Gold Coast's early days. The site itself was an Aboriginal gathering place and in the late 1800's a cemetery for local pioneer workers and family. A few of the museum's attractions include, a reproduction of an early settler's cottage, the original studio of artist Vincent Sheldon, a display of Aboriginal artifacts, equipment used in the Southport cable station, a large collection and display of photographs, a collection of Paula Stafford bikinis and many more items that inform the Gold Coast's heritage and past.
