At a glance
Coolangatta Sands Hotel is a local pub, restaurant and function venue at 6A McLean Street, Coolangatta, close to the coastline and town’s main activity. Known locally as The Sands, the venue combines relaxed pub dining with bars, gaming, accommodation and spaces for private events. Its location makes it suited to visitors looking for a casual meal, a drink near the beach or a convenient place to stay on the Gold Coast.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner in a setting designed for straightforward, comfortable dining. The Lounge Bar provides another option for meals, drinks and gatherings, with a more relaxed atmosphere than the dedicated function spaces. The venue offers a broad beverage selection alongside its food, making it suitable for casual catch-ups, informal celebrations and everyday pub dining.
Several areas give the hotel a flexible layout. The Sports Bar caters to live sport and casual drinks, while the gaming area operates separately as part of the venue’s wider leisure offering. The Alley Bar is a more private space used for functions such as birthdays, engagements and corporate events. Function facilities also support larger group occasions, with the venue able to accommodate different styles of gathering across its bar, dining and event areas.
Accommodation is available upstairs for visitors staying in Coolangatta. The rooms are presented as modern, practical and affordable, with recently updated bathrooms, facilities and air conditioning. This adds an overnight option for travellers who want to stay close to the pub, local shops and the coastline without choosing a separate accommodation venue.
Coolangatta Sands Hotel suits a range of occasions, from a casual pub meal and an evening drink to group celebrations and short stays. The combination of restaurant dining, lounge and sports bars, gaming, functions and accommodation gives the venue a broad, informal character. The venue also publishes event and promotional updates, so group bookings and special occasions can be planned around the spaces available.
