A very quiet beach I enjoy a daily walk here to collect little seashells.

I love this spot. I had to share some drone shots.
Nishant Gupta
Nice clean beach. Got big buildings behind for a view. Approachable with public transport. Parking available as well. Can park for free in the surf club parking as well. Not crowded like Surfers Paradise. Got lifeguards. Waves can be big though. Sunrise looks amazing here.

Gorgeous beach away from the crowds but still with the awesome contrast of sea and big sky rise buildings behind. The beach is clean and quiet with lifeguards. There is parking right by the beach - which is free - and plenty of taps to clean your feet or thongs. Really can't go wrong here! Just be prepared for the big old waves that'll knock you right out.

Kurrawa Beach in Broadbeach may not be the safest place for a swim but it’s my happy place in this world. 💙 Beautiful sunsets, seagulls everywhere, nice reflections on the wet sands, wild waves… I love this place.
