Coolangatta
About Coolangatta
This southern city lies close to the Queensland and New South Wales border. Gold Coast Airport is based here and it’s possible to fly to the southern area of the Great Barrier Reef and back from Gold Coast in a day. So you can have it all! Coolangatta is a great introduction to Queensland. North-facing beaches Greenmount and Rainbow Bay are popular swimming and surfing beaches. Walk around the connecting headland between Greenmount and Coolangatta, and there’s wheelchair accessible paths.
Coolangatta Accommodation
Coolangatta accommodation is laid back, low-rise and lazy. Stay at a Coolangatta hotel or Coolangatta apartment if you’re seeking a cool Gold Coast beach holiday. Coolangatta and surrounding south Gold Coast beaches are the best option for family holidays or those wanting to escape the buzz of the northern beaches of Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. Book with a Coolangatta accomodation provider and enjoy the Gold Coast a slower pace.
