Froggies Beach, Coolangatta

Nestled between Gold Coast surf favourites Point Danger and Snapper Rocks, Froggies Beach is a secret slice of paradise. And while the beach may be small in comparison to its well-known neighbours, Froggies makes up for it with secluded rock pools, stunning views and crystal-clear water fringed by pandanus palms. Spread out your towel and take in the scenery, and don’t forget to snap some photos worthy of the ’Gram. During the annual whale migration season it is another prime crowd-free location for land-based whale spotting. Coming in at just over 100km from Brisbane, a trip to Froggies is well worth the drive.
