  • Beachside Dining and Post-Surf Takeaway

    Located right by Coolangatta beach, the venue provides convenient takeaway bowls ideal for eating outdoors between surfs.

    I love getting the tempura rice bowl or the teriyaki salmon rice bowl for a takeaway lunch and sitting on the beach to eat it - bliss!

    Can vouch for the Karaage Curry - which we always seem to get, but their rice plates are all good.
