Explore a little piece of paradise on two wheels: a six-day bike hire based in Tweed Heads that puts the Gold Coast Oceanway, world-class surf beaches and the Tweed River within easy reach of a single wheel. The shared bicycle and pedestrian path that hugs this coastline makes biking the natural way to move between Coolangatta, Kirra Point, Currumbin and the river, whether you’re riding beside break walls or tracing the estuary.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE COASTLINE

Ride the Gold Coast Oceanway

A shared bicycle and pedestrian path runs along the coastline, offering consistent, scenic riding between Tweed Heads, Coolangatta and beyond — perfect for taking in beaches, headlands and surf culture.

THE SURF

Surf Spots and Break Walls

The route puts you next to vibrant surf spots — ride to Kirra Point or alongside the break wall at D Bah to watch surfers up close and sample the coastal atmosphere.

THE RIVER

Explore the Tweed River

Beyond the ocean, the Tweed River offers a contrasting ride: calmer water, estuary views and quieter stretches that expand the choices for a multi-day exploration.

What the day feels like

What the six days feel like

This is a relaxed, place-based ride: pick up your hire bike, don a provided helmet, click a lock on and use the Oceanway to stitch together short rides between surf beaches, headlands and riverfront. Each day can be tailored — a seaside spin to Currumbin, a surf-adjacent loop at Kirra Point, or a peaceful exploration of the Tweed River — with the basic kit included so you can focus on the riding.
