Currumbin Alley Surf Guide
Visible from the Gold Coast Highway is Currumbin's famous point, The Alley. Nowhere near as famous as Burleigh, Kirra or Snapper, the Alley can be as good or better, particularly when it's big.Watch out for the rocks on the take-off and be careful negotiating the rock jump. If in doubt, paddle out from the beach on the south side.
