If you're looking a great breakfast that's close by I highly recommend Wildernis Cafe and Bar at Palm Beach . The atmosphere is very cool and the food is amazing!!! Not the cheapest option but well worth it if you're a foodie and you like some alternative options.

Barefoot Barista has been well-known by locals for many years and was really one of the first hip coffee shops in the area and has inspired the trend of many other funky coffee shops in the surrounding areas. They make great coffee at Barista and the bites are pretty good too! :)

Cafe Bar is soooo much more than a cafe! It serves restaurant quality food for breakfast and lunch and is one of my absolute FAVOURITE places to eat out at. Their menu is so varied and really caters for all dietary requirements. I can't even count how many of my friends and family I've taken there for a delicious meal. The setting is really nice too as it is perched up on the hill at Dbar (right on the border of QLD and NSW) with gorgeous ocean views of the surfers and whales in whale season. Cafe Dbar is only 10minute drive from here.

The Salt Mill is one of my favourite local coffee shops as they do the BEST coconut cappuccino! (great for those intolerant to dairy) they really do a great coffee in general and it's no wonder they are always super busy. If you like Acai bowls, juices, raw treats and other delights you can find them here. Oh and did I mention it's only a 5 minute drive from The Salty Gum Leaf? (Salty Gum Leaf - World Class Luxury on Currumbin Beach) :)

Elephant Rock Cafe has been an icon in the area for many years and is a family owned and operated business. The views of the Pacific Ocean are breathtaking and the food is great too. For a sit-down breakfast that's close by I recommend the Elephant Rock Cafe :)

Drinks & Nightlife

I wasn't too sure what category to put this one in as it's kind of an all-rounder... It's a restaurant, bar, live music venue and a place that has epic views of the ocean and northern aspect of the Gold Coast. The Currumbin Vikings is a must visit while here on the Gold Coast!

I put this one in the nightlife category because it's a great place to go and have a cocktail but also to enjoy the yummy food. They offer starters, wood fire pizza, calzone, chicken & lamb dishes, salads, pasta & desserts. They even offer a banquet option for small and large groups.

If you like day drinking in a funky setting then this is your place! The Garden Kitchen & Bar caters for groups and individuals and they do a pretty mean cocktail too! I have been to countless events here (engagements, birthdays and Christmas parties) the food is ok. If it's food you are after then perhaps eat somewhere local first or after (there are many great restaurants in Broadbeach so take your pick). I would actually recommend having some late afternoon drinks here and then heading out somewhere for dinner.

"A lavish night spot with oriental decor, offering modern Australia food and live entertainment". - East. If night clubs are your thing then you may like to check out East? It's probably a 25 minute Uber ride. You will be in the heart of Broadbeach where there are many restaurants, bars and night clubs. The Casino is also just across the road.

Draculas is always a great night out with friends!! I can't count how many times I've been here but always guaranteed to be memorable :) It's a Caberet restaurant and the price of your ticket includes a 3 course meal and the show. Your drinks are not included so take some extra cash with you. You'll need to factor in transport up and back and I'd recommend getting an Uber (much cheaper than a taxi!). After the show you might like to walk over to the Casino where there are bars or into the heart of Broadbeach where you'll find a selection of night clubs and bars.

"Hidden behind an intriguing wooden façade on the main drag of hipster Nobby Beach, step inside this moody vintage night-spot where the effortlessly cool crew will happily make a recommendation if you’re struggling to choose from the dozen or so bottled craft beer options, rotating taps, and smashingly good rum cocktails (the Kraken black spiced rum espresso martini, perhaps?" - The Urban List.

This is technically a boutique Mexican restaurant but also a tequila bar (BonBon bar) boasting over 100 varieties of tequila! The atmosphere is like walking into a old school Mexican cantina and the food is some of the best Mexican in town. Highly recommend a visit!

If you love beer or maybe you're fan of world-famous surfer Mick Fanning, you will love Balter Brewery! This is Mick's brewery (well he is partnered with a few other folk) and he can often be seen here hanging out. But he's a very humble bloke so don't act all cray cray and ask for a selfie or he might shy away. Instead just enjoy the great craft beer they have on tap and the trendy vibe. :)

Entertainment & Activities

I wasn't exactly sure what category Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary came under as it's a wildlife park & Zoological garden but also it's much more than that! It's a place where you can cuddle a koala, get close to Kangaroos, crocodiles and more! Enjoy the tree-top challenge, Segway safari, Aboriginal dance, sheep-shearing, free flight bird show and so much more!! A visit to Currumbin its honestly incomplete without a visit to CWS!

If you like to surf (or wish to learn) then the Currumbin Alley Surf Spot is your best bet! A popular place to learn with many good surfing instructors. What's great about it is the waves are often very great for learning. Surf's Up!

Gold Coast boasts a wide selection of theme parks and Dream world is just one of them. A great day out for couples and families or groups of friends. Choose from one of the many rides (the Giant Drop is a MUST!!) there is a tiger zoo and also a water park on site but I believe that is a seperate ticket entry.. Definitely a fun day out! Just 45 mins north up the Motorway.

If you love water slides and water rides then it doesn't get much better than Wet'n'Wild!! The selection of water rides is amazing - everything from a good old toboggan ride to crazy steep (and very fast) water slides. A super fun day out and great in the warmer months.

Parks & Nature

Currumbin Valley rock pools are a great place to go and get out in nature, enjoy a dip in the cool rock pools, sun bathe on the banks of the creek and take a picnic lunch. Can get very busy in the Christmas holidays but still worth checking out and while you're out that way you can check out Currumbin Valley harvest, Eco village, Mt Tomewin and Springbrook National park - Mount Cougal section. This is a really nice bushwalking but also hosts a couple of small water falls and rock ponds where you can swim. :)

Currumbin has a few lovely beaches (3 in total) and they are all different. The one near the river has a really nice northern aspect and nature vibe. The main beach can get a little busy on Sunday's when nippers are on and the southern beach is lovely as it has a southern aspect and meets up with flat rock park (another nice spot to take a picnic lunch) Currumbin is a great spot to surf (at the Alley)
