Just past Duranbah beach where Queensland meets New South Wales there is a small opening where all level snorkellers and divers can explore the ocean. Coolangatta has some of the best beaches down the eastern coast - this, though, is one of my favourite spots.
I've only been snorkelling once in my life on a family holiday. However to have such a great spot be so close to Brisbane is a dream come true. The spot not only offers snorkellers an adventure but there is also Duranbah beach right next to it for all your wave sports and pleasures. Be sure to head down one weekend, grab some goggles, swimmers and definitely some sunscreen.
