A short, sea‑level escape: rent a bike in Tweed Heads and follow the shared bicycle and pedestrian path that hugs some of the world’s best surfing beaches. From Coolangatta to Currumbin and along the Tweed River, the options are open — ride the Gold Coast Oceanway beside break walls and surf breaks, or take a quieter turn inland toward riverfront stretches.

THE ROUTE

Gold Coast Oceanway and Surf Breaks

The shared bicycle and pedestrian path runs along the coastline and places you next to famous surf breaks and break walls where surfers line up — an ideal corridor for a half‑day ride.

THE OPTIONS

Choose a Coastal or River Ride

Riders can head toward Currumbin via Coolangatta and Kirra Point, or opt to explore the Tweed River for a different, calmer perspective of the region.

THE TIMING

Short, Flexible Excursions

Hire is structured for up to a half‑day, giving you ample time to sample beaches, break walls and riverfront without committing to a full‑day outing.

Bikes are rented for up to four hours, making this a compact window to explore the Gold Coast and Tweed region at a relaxed pace.
