Point Burleigh, located on the southern end of the Gold Coast, boasts a 27-hectare coastal rainforest national park and is a local favorite. Two free hiking trails are ideal for a relaxing stroll: the Oceanview Track leads to Tumgun Lookout, offering 270° panoramic views of the Surfers Paradise skyline and stunning ocean views—a popular spot for sunset photography; the Rainforest Circuit winds through native forest to Elephant Rock, a must-visit for Instagrammers. The beach is bisected by the headland—the north side offers calmer waters perfect for family picnics and water activities, while the south side, Point Break, features world-class right-point surfing and is the venue for the WSL Burleigh Pro tournament. James Street, a popular food street, is within walking distance, offering restaurants like Rick Shores with ocean views, Burleigh Pavilion, and craft coffee shops.
Point Danger, perched atop Kurangata at the southernmost tip of the Gold Coast, marks the border between Queensland and New South Wales and is the only landmark on the Australian mainland with a distinct time zone. Named after Captain Cook in 1770 to warn of treacherous reefs, it has been transformed into a stunning viewpoint, featuring a monument to Captain Cook and a unique octagonal lighthouse. The lighthouse's base is crafted from cast iron scraps discarded at sea from Cook's Endeavour, lending it a profound sense of history. From the viewpoint, one can gaze north to the skyscrapers of Surfers Paradise and south to the azure waves of Snapper Rocks, a world-class surfing spot. It's not only a must-see for day trips to Byron Bay but also a popular location for tourists to experience "stepping between two states" and take photos at the "cross-state boundary marker," perfectly blending maritime adventure with breathtaking ocean views.
Rainbow Bay, located at the southernmost tip of the Gold Coast in Kurangata, adjacent to the landmark "Dangerous Point," is named for its surrounding colorful sedimentary rock cliffs. Sheltered from the wind and waves, with crystal-clear waters, it offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of Surfers Paradise. As an extension of the world-class longboard surfing destination Snapper Rocks, it provides a safe haven for beginners while allowing seasoned surfers to witness pros conquering the giant Superbank waves. During whale watching season from May to September, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of humpback whales breaching the surface from the bay's shore. Furthermore, it marks the starting point of the Gold Coast Oceanway and serves as a perfect rest stop for photos on the way to Byron Bay, making it ideal for families and photography enthusiasts.
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, located at the southernmost tip of the Gold Coast, is a century-old conservation park with 27 hectares of rainforest and is an officially recognized koala-cuddling paradise in Queensland. Two must-see attractions are the daily rainbow lorikeet feeding, a truly spectacular sight with hundreds of colorful lorikeets landing on your shoulders; and the thrilling bird show, witnessing the visual impact of birds of prey swooping down. Besides taking photos with koalas, you can also experience the TreeTop zipline (skimming over a crocodile pool) or visit the wildlife hospital. Adjacent to Surfers Paradise, it's the perfect family-friendly stop on a day trip connecting "Danger Point" and "Byron Bay," offering park shows and tram connections for a one-stop experience of authentic Australian wilderness adventures.
