Life savers were on duty and the water was a beautiful blue, with gentle waves.

Very poor.

Jun 2020 • Friends

Lunch needs much improvement. Had to ask three times for a menu. Then given one glass of water for three people. Waiter never returned with a jug of water after requesting it. Indian curry with rice. Dry and tasteless rice not cooked.
A beautiful ocean view with much improvement needed in the restaurant. Have dined many times at Kurawa but this is unacceptable.

Favourite beach

Aug 2020

I like Kurrawa Beach - have been coming to Broadbeach and using Kurrawa Beach for over 50 years. While I do not see myself a local, I feel very welcome at the Club, on the beach (well maintained) and enjoy the markets. All in all a good experience to have when visiting Gold Coast and Australia.

Amazing beach club

Jan 2020 • Friends

Beach and surf clubs are all over Australia and anyone can visit these clubs as long as you have valid ID. Kurrawa delivers excellent food and drinks at reasonable prices overlooking the beach. I highly advise anyone visiting Australia to visit these clubs

Dec 2021 • Friends

Location incredible, staff were fantastic and it was such a great vibe. And to sit back and enjoy some cold drinks and delicious food on the beach… About time there was something like this in Aus. Well done Gold Coast! We’ll be heading back for sure!

Great location

Oct 2020 • Couples

Just near the surf club this is a great place to watch beach volleyball, sit in the park and be in the centre of town near the mall.
Patrolled beach with flags. Excellent spot but also one of the busiest.

Best Beach on the Coast

Dec 2020

Great family beach with plenty of open space. It is well patrolled and safe for children in the shallows . The sand is clean and the the water inviting. It is also great for early morning and evening walks on this large stretch of beach

Awesome Beach Baywatch 👀

Sep 2019 • Family

A nice clean beach for a walk , swim or sometimes surf . There are lifeguard patrols and if you swim between the flags will have fun.
It gets busy weekends and the surf club here is very popular, the club house is brand new and located right on beach.
The water is nice and clean
TRAVEL TIP- Go early mornings to avoid crowds and also the wind gets stronger later in day.

So many people up & about to enjoy this beach ... from very early.

Sep 2020

Early morning walk on this beach is quite magical. Look north towards the high rises of Surfers but relax in the knowledge that Broadbeach 's beaches are superior.

A Surf Club with a Twist

Jun 2018 • Couples

Kurrawa surf club is a very attractive building right on the beach front at Broadbeach.

It is also a licensed club that sells drinks & beautiful food. The servings are massive. The good service is only surpassed by the great view of the beautiful sandy beach & miles of rolling surf.

Kurrowa Beach Gold Coast

Sep 2017 • Friends

Possibly the most beautiful stretch of beach on the Gold Coast. Golden sands, gorgeous water. Remember to always swim between the flags on all Australian beaches.
