Beach locations

Due to the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, some beaches remain closed.

We’re working hard to restore our beaches. To find out what beaches are now open, view the table below. Check back in coming days to get the latest updates.

Due to popular demand, we've started a six-month trial for community beach pole sports. Poles and nets for sports like beach volleyball, tennis and foot volley are now available at Burleigh Heads, Miami, Broadbeach, Coolangatta and Surfers Paradise beaches. No bookings required. Maximum 2 hour sessions (if people are waiting). BYO balls/racquets.
