10 Things to Do Near Palm Beach This 2020 Easter School Holiday
Queensland’s Palm Beach is one of the best beaches on the Gold Coast and the perfect destination for families looking to relax, recharge and bond over the coming Easter school break!
With its powdery white sand, tranquil atmosphere and a central position for exploring everything the Gold Coast has to offer, Palm Beach won’t disappoint as your Gold Coast holiday base this April. You will be within a short walk or drive from our beachfront Palm Beach accommodation at Regency on the Beach, you can spoil your whole family to these ten exciting things to do on the Gold Coast:
Beachfront Dining
Just footsteps from breathtaking Palm Beach itself, tuck into some of the best regional cuisines with a wide choice of beachfront Palm Beach restaurants and cafés. The adjacent Gold Coast Highway has plenty to indulge in, from casual bistro dining next to the sand to trendy eateries with menu offerings for all the family.
Dine with a view of the Pacific at Tallebudgera Surf Club or Palm Beach Surf Club, taste the best freshly sourced cuisine at AVVIA Palm Beach and visit Dune Cafe or Espresso Moto if you appreciate cafés with character – just a few of the many options Palm Beach offers.
Palm Beach Parklands
After enjoying Palm Beach, take a stroll to the Palm Beach Parklands for a change of pace and scenery. Shallow ocean paddling near the estuary and wandering the boardwalk next to Currumbin Creek are two unmissable things to do in the Palm Beach Parklands, along with taking the kids to the popular Palm Beach Treasure Island Playground.
Keep them active this Easter – as well as stunning picnic areas, Treasure Island Playground features a giant beached pirate ship on the waterfront that will send their imaginations running wild.
Currumbin Creek
Currumbin Creek waits on the other side of the Palm Beach Parklands, where you won’t find a better location for family swimming and kayaking!
This picturesque Gold Coast creek is nestled between Palm Beach and Currumbin, offering still open waters, scenic riverbanks and hireable kayaks, which you can take down the creek into Currumbin Valley with picture-perfect views on either side.
Currumbin Rock Pools
Hidden in Currumbin Valley, Currumbin Rock Pools is a secluded swimming hotspot that won’t disappoint the kids, boasting shallow and deep natural pools, small rocky jumps and rope swings. There are picnic benches for taking a break, toilet facilities as well as great food and coffee to locate nearby at Ground Currumbin Ecovillage.
