Currumbin Waters features and amenities
Currumbin Waters is approximately 10 square kilometres in size and sits on the Queensland border with New South Wales. It is not the southerly most suburb on the Gold Coast, however, as the border veers further south at the coast. Situated directly west of Currumbin, the surrounding suburbs include Palm Beach, Elanora and Currumbin Valley.
The suburb is situated around Currumbin Creek and has a number of waterfront properties—many with access to the sea at Currumbin Alley. The creek is a haven for water sports enthusiasts and most weekends it is dotted with stand-up paddle boarders, kayakers, fishers and people out on their tinnies. The suburb also boasts 29 parks covering almost 7.7% of the total area.
Shopping
The area is serviced by a small shopping centre, Currumbin Fair with an IGA, bottle shop, and other small businesses.
