Kirra Beach is one of the many beautiful white sand beaches on the
Gold Coast,
Queensland. The rocky headland known as Kirra Point separates Kirra beach to the north and
Coolangatta beach to the south.
Kirra Beach is the Gold Coast's most famous board riding beach, renowned throughout the world. Famous for long, right-hand surf breaks, experienced surfers will find challenging waves and beginners will enjoy the smaller waves that break in closer to the shore. Kirra Beach works best in solid east and northeast swells during the cyclone season, but is popular all year round. Beware of the fierce current at Kirra Beach, which can drag unsuspecting riders to the north. The beach is patrolled all year round.
The beach offers protected swimming beach during south easterlies, and thanks to the large amounts of white squeaky sand is great for volleyball and cricket. There is an abundance of fishing all year round with dart and bream being more plentiful in the winter months.
There are a few intersting dive sites at Kirra and Cook Islands to the south. The Oceanway offers walking and viewing platforms which are wheelchair accessible.
