Gold Coast Oceanway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Gold Coast Oceanway is a coastal shared path running for around 36 kilometres along the Gold Coast, designed for walking, cycling, and easy access to the shoreline. Around North Kirra, it follows the beachfront with open ocean views and a relaxed, flat route. Along this section, you’ll pass Roughton Park, Peak Memorial Park, and Queen Elizabeth Park, with grassy areas and places to stop along the way.

North Kirra Beach

Highlight • Beach

North Kirra Beach has a more open, windswept feel, with long stretches of sand and fewer crowds compared to the busier parts of the Gold Coast. Behind the beach, park areas are set up with barbecues, picnic spots, and playgrounds, along with toilets and showers. It’s patrolled during peak periods, so it’s worth sticking between the flags if you’re heading in for a swim.

Gold Coast Oceanway (Point Danger to Currumbin Alley)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This stretch of the Gold Coast Oceanway follows the coastline from Point Danger to Currumbin Alley, linking some of the southern Gold Coast’s best beaches and viewpoints. The route is mostly level and easy to follow, running along paved oceanfront paths past Coolangatta, Rainbow Bay, Kirra, and Tugun. Along the way you’ll pass popular surf breaks, beachfront parks, and plenty of spots to stop for a swim or coffee. With constant views of the Pacific and regular sea breezes, it’s an enjoyable coastal walk where you can often spot surfers, dolphins, and migrating whales during the winter months.

Tugun Beach

Highlight • Beach

Tugun Beach stretches along a quieter part of the southern Gold Coast, with a wide sandy shoreline and steady surf. At the northern end, Flat Rock Creek meets the ocean, with parkland and shaded areas just behind the beach.

It’s patrolled near the surf club during peak periods, and facilities are well set up, including toilets, showers, picnic tables, and nearby cafés. Conditions can vary, so it’s worth swimming between the flags where lifeguards are present.
