Do you know where Currumbin Spit is?

So where is it located? Currumbin Spit is a long thin piece of native bushland nestled between Palm Beach South and Currumbin Lagoon, around 1km round trip.

Yes you can walk around the perimeter, from Life Saving Tower 13 there is a well beaten sand path along the top of the dunes, which skirts around to the lagoon and then finally ends at Palm Beach Parklands.

What’s so special about Currumbin Spit?

At first glance it’s just a long piece of land with a track running down the centre nestled between the surf and calm waters. But a closer look reveals the location has much to offer.

The whole area is criss-cross with sand tracks. This is where holiday makers and locals can change their minds as to whether they like the surf or calm waters of the lagoon and can interchange at will.

 Although on a hot summer day when the tide is out it could seem like a long way to the water over that hot sand. So don’t forget to bring something to protect your feet or you could find yourself doing a fast run!

Water Sports

During the weekends this whole area is alive with families enjoying all the options available. Everything from surfing to snorkelling, fishing and boating is here for the taking.

If the sea breeze is blowing, out come the wind surfers and they are a sight to see. Their aerial acrobatics will keep you amused and entertained for hours.

When the Alley is that deep sea green, the snorkelers appear, fossicking along the rock groyne, lost in an underwater aquarium oblivious to what is happening in that other world. And let us not forget the board riders who can access Currumbin Alley from this point.

It’s a dog’s life here!

Yes you are going to love this place, it’s a dog owner’s paradise just follow the councils signage and you and your pooch are going to have a great time. Much of the area is geared for them. Walk them, let them run or perhaps have a dip in the Lagoon in the designated area...

Some weekends if you glance along the edge of the lagoon, there is a maze of children, adults and dogs of every size and breed, all in a harmonious buzz, all basking in the warm tranquil waters of Currumbin lagoon.

It’s an amazing place to observe the antics of dogs and their owners resting in the calm waters of the lagoon on a hot summer day. I bet they don’t behave the same way when it’s bath time! Have you ever noticed how dogs are so friendly with each other at the beach? Fights are rare, it’s like they know that this is heaven, dig, roll and splash in the water, there’s no soap here.
