Kirra: The Gold Coast's Hidden Gem

With a casual ambience, pristine beaches and some of the best surfing in the world, the Gold Coast suburb of Kirra is an outdoor lover's paradise.

Kirra: The Gold Coast's Hidden Gem

Located on the Queensland/New South Wales border, and only minutes from Tweed Heads and Coolangatta, the Gold Coast's suburb of Kirra is famous for its long surf beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Surfers from across the globe recognise Kirra's surf breaks as some of the best in the world, and it is considered a training ground for many of Australia’s surf greats.

Kirra Point and Duranbah offer excellent waves for both experienced surfers and beginners. They are also a great place to simply kick back and watch the world's top surfers ride the big waves. If you're new to surfing, hiring a longboard for the day is a great way to experience the fun of surfing, without the need for all the advanced technical skills.

Due to its proximity to Gold Coast Airport, Kirra is a popular weekend getaway for residents of both NSW and QLD. Once a sleepy seaside community, its growing popularity has resulted in the opening of increasing high-end cafés and restaurants to cater for the rising tourism trade.
