That is why you will want to find out a little about the place before you visit. You may not know that Coolangatta is considered the twin city of Tweed Heads. Coolangatta is in The Gold Coast and in the Point Danger area there is an incredible lighthouse to visit. Coolangatta also offers absolutely endless beaches.
Between Coolangatta and Tweeds Heads there is a shared river way and a fishing fleet. The name Coolangatta is from a ship wreck that happened in 1848. There were many European woodcutters that made this one of the first settlements on the Gold Coast. This is an incredibly beautiful and natural area. At the edge of the city is the Great Dividing Range and it is mostly protected because of being a world heritage listed site.
A railroad connection has made Coolangatta a tourist destination and people are flocking for vacations to share the natural beauty and the beaches. There is a system of waterways and artificial items that make the town an very unusual site that makes any Australian vacation unique. Point Danger is also a special place, located between New South Wales and Queensland. The lighthouse there was dedicated to the famous Captain Cook.
From Coolangatta you can visit Tweeds Head which is very welcoming to tourists. They have an especially fun time during new years eve because they are right on the border of the time zone . That is a pretty good excuse for seriously extended partying. You can walk the beach, if so inspired, all the way from Coolangatta to Main Beach and even get close to Stradbrooke Island.
Main Beach is a good place to visit as well. People have been regularly converging here since the Jubilee Bridge was built in 1926. There are now many upscale hotels and other attractions that tourists find irresistible. Surfing just being one of the many reasons the people love this area.
