World class surf break on Gold Coast

Beach

Message from

This iconic beach on the Gold Coast is one of the best for surfers. The world famous surf break, epic waves, and tropical blue water is what makes this beach so popular. Even if you’re not into surfing, Snapper Rocks is a stunning spot to relax and watch the waves roll in.

The Rainbow Bay Surf Club is the iconic building right by the beach and is the perfect spot for a laid-back drink with stunning ocean views. It overlooks Rainbow Bay and Snapper Rocks, and is a popular spot to unwind after a day at the beach, with cold beers, cocktails, and a relaxed vibe.

The upstairs seating on the balcony is an absolute must for panoramic views of the surf. The club is open to everyone and you are welcome to grab a drink, enjoy a meal, and take in the stunning ocean views. If you’re planning to stay for a while or visit regularly, you can sign up for a membership for extra perks, but casual visitors are always welcome.
