The Area: Currumbin

Soak up the sun and splash about in the waves at glorious Currumbin Beach. Animal lovers check out Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where koala cuddling, Segway safaris and thrilling high-rope adventures are all on the menu. Keen shoppers might jump on the bus and head for Elkhorn Avenue or Cavill Avenue in Surfers Paradise, while surf-loving dudes can take a ride through surfing history at the unique Surf World Museum. Currumbin Beach is down the southern end of the Gold Coast, a 30-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Surfers Paradise. There is a frequent public bus service to get from one end to the other, with a bus stop right on the resort doorstep. Sanctuary Lake is a one-minute walk from the beach and directly opposite the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, with a number of restaurants, bars and cafes within walking distance. The airport is a five-minute drive away.
