The adjoining surf beach looks North West to Moreton Island and North East to the sparkling Pacific Ocean, a relaxed country getaway with the added attraction of a golden beach right on its doorstep. There is plenty to see and do nearby, with several freshwater lakes, waterways and lagoons to explore. For those chasing a bit of fun and adventure, there are four wheel drive safaris, fishing charters, sea kayaking tours as well as a golf course. For those looking to camp further afield, Broadwater Tourist Park in nearby Southport has one of the best locations on all of the Gold Coast.
