👍 A lovely spot for a day at the beach. The water is calm, there's plenty of space to set up and parking is okay. My only wish is that the toilets were closer, rather than across the road in the park.

Torakina Beach
Beach
👍 It really depends on the time of the year that you don’t get much swell on this small pocket beach. We had fun though even on a short period of a dip.

👍👍 We stay on Palm Beach every January. It is a beautiful beach. Close to Currumbin Creek and the Pirate Park. It's quieter than Burleigh or Surfers Paradise and there are a lot of great eateries, cafe's and there's a Coles. You don't need to go anywhere else.
