The Tweed River is a short walk away, with a pathway extending towards Jack Evans Harbour, Twin Towns and the coastal lookouts around Point Danger. In the other direction, the route leads towards parks, quieter beaches and Tweed Marina and Harbour.

Gold Coast Airport is about a five-minute drive away, while the Gold Coast theme parks are around 35 minutes by car.
