Coolangatta from the air, with the beach and the Vivere site

Location

The Southern End

Coolangatta is one of those rare places that doesn't need to be explained to people who've been there. The surf breaks are among the best in the world: Snapper, Duranbah, Kirra, Rainbow Bay and Greenmount. The town centre is compact enough to walk end to end. The people who live there have lived there a long time, and they plan to stay.

Home, Where You Holiday

There is an authenticity to Coolangatta that continues to draw people in. A neighbourhood brimming with nostalgia, where world-class surf meets a thriving café culture, where morning walks become afternoon swims, and familiar faces are never far away.
