Coolangatta
Edit SpotAbout
This spot is good when everywhere else is packed, sometimes the swell hits big, but if Snapper is massive and you're a beginner, go to Coolie.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere here is cool, not too many hardcore fags. Just don't drop in on locals and you'll be sweet.
Additional Info:
Best time to go is cyclone season. If packed just be patient. Ultra crowded when going off.
