At the southern most end of Queensland’s famous Gold Coast is Coolangatta beach one of my most favourite places. The beach and its white sand is in my option world class, it just does not get much better.

I have been there many times over the years but never knew what the world actually meant, This information board said it all located in Queen Elizabeth Park. A very fitting Aboriginal word meaning ”Fine View” I could not argue with that, the views are spectacular every where you look.

The surf was small and clean when we first arrived but as we walked the wind started to pick up and it turned a little choppy.

They are so used to all the tourists, they happily just watch carefully as you walk on by.

Snapper Rocks is a famous surf spot in the right conditions, I am pretty sure it is part of the world surfing tour events.

Froggy Beach. There is a rock on the hill, painted green, that looks like a bit like frog.

It was only about a one kilometre swim but but I am a little out of practice.
