This park has possibly the best view on the Gold Coast. With all the water activity enthusiasts on the Alley, the waves, the sandy beaches, the rocks and turquoise waters all set upon a backdrop of the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise cityscape, it doesn't get any better than this.  At night the amazing skies turn into magic so make a perfect spot for that romantic picnic. With a playground, toilets, cold shower, boiling water on tap and a dog friendly park it has it all. The tribe of dedicated surfers provide spectacular entertainment for those of us who can't (or are too chicken to) surf, and there's even a surf school if you wanna change that. Parking is tight (and not the fault of the vandwellers as some selfish local house-dwellers would purport), but from all the locals and travellers who have discovered this is the best place on earth on any day of the year. Remember to respect nature, don't stay overnight (unless you're fishing) and take your stuff with you. #smallcarbonfootprint
