The beaches in the Currumbin area are perfect for family holidays. The calm shallow waters and sandy stretches of the Currumbin Estuary make a perfect playground for younger children. Yet just a short distance away the older members of the family can let loose on all sorts of surf boards. Ease away the pressure of that other life with private beach walks in the still dawn or the pastel sunset. But a Gold Coast holiday is not just about sun, sea and surf. Select from an astonishing variety of world standard golf courses, cruise the waterways, get the adrenalin rush of high speed wave jumping, catch a crab, visit a wonderful nature reserve, feed the lorikeets.. the choices are endless. A Gold Coast holiday is not complete without a visit to one of the family theme parks. Whatever the age there is a show to entertain and amuse. A short drive inland from the coast and you are in the midst of the Gold Coast hinterland with its unspoiled rainforests, waterfalls, spectacular views, bush-walking, wildlife and National Parks. Several scenic drives wind through the area, taking in the rainforest oasis of Tamborine Mountain, the lovely Numinbah Valley, the Hinze dam, the early history of Beaudesert, the green of the Springbrook plateau and the pretty Purlingbrook Falls. For a different type of entertainment, there is always Jupiters Casino with its two floors of gaming tables and machines, live stage performances in the showrooms and themed restaurants. Have a night out at the Currumbin RSL Club or dine in the ocean at the Vikings Currumbin Surf Club.
