"A gentle, longboard-friendly point break at the mouth of Currumbin Creek."
Currumbin Alley, Gold Coast Overview
Currumbin Alley is a point break on the sandbar at the mouth of Currumbin Creek, about 8 km north of Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast. Waves wrap around the point, giving easier water near the creek and a right-hander further out, making it one of the region's most popular longboard spots. Currumbin Rock marks its northern edge and Elephant Rock the beach's southern end, with the Gold Coast Oceanway path running alongside. The Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Life Saving Club patrols the sand.
Currumbin Alley sits within Currumbin Beach, between Currumbin Rock and Elephant Rock on the southern Gold Coast, and is a separate attraction from the inland Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in the same suburb. The break forms where Currumbin Creek meets the ocean: gentler water wraps toward the creek mouth, suiting beginners and longboarders, while a right-hand wave peels off the point for stronger surfers, with a further wave called Lacey's Lane across the channel. Wikipedia lists it among the Gold Coast's best-known breaks alongside Superbank and Burleigh Heads. The Gold Coast Oceanway runs along the beachfront, and each September the Swell Sculpture Festival installs artworks here and around nearby Elephant Rock.
