Lots of cafes and shops dot the beach, and several large restaurants are within walking distance of the sand.

This is the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen in person. We’ve walk there every single evening while on our trip. We couldn’t get enough of the views and the weather. I’m not a surfer so don’t ask me about the waves, but when it comes to the landscape you should definitely go and visit this beach.

Shining long white sand beach. The Gold coast city view from here is awesome.
