Explore a little piece of paradise by bike: a shared bicycle and pedestrian path hugs the coastline here, giving you direct access to world-class surfing beaches and dramatic seaside riding. Over 48 hours you can follow the Gold Coast Oceanway, head to Currumbin via Coolangatta and Kirra Point, ride beside surfers at D Bah’s break wall or take a quieter turn onto the Tweed River—freedom to shape the day is part of the draw.

THE LANDSCAPE

Coastal riding on the Gold Coast Oceanway

The hire puts you on the Gold Coast Oceanway, a continuous shared path along beaches and headlands where surf, sand and salt air frame nearly every pedal stroke.

THE ROUTE

Multiple turnoffs: Coolangatta, Currumbin and the Tweed River

This is a choose-your-own-adventure hire: ride to Currumbin via Coolangatta and Kirra Point, drop down to the riverside or linger where the break wall puts you beside surfers.

THE FAMILY-FRIENDLY OPTION

Gear add-ons for younger riders

Coast Cyclery offers tag-alongs for children aged 4 to 9 and a rear-mounted baby seat (suitable up to 20 kg), and all hires include a helmet and a lock.
