Why Coolangatta?
One Of The Safest Beaches In Gold Coast
Unlike many other beaches on the Gold Coast that face the full force of the main swell and wind, Coolangatta enjoys the unique advantage of the Greenmount headland. This natural feature acts as a shield, providing sheltered surfing conditions from the elements – ideal for surfers of all ages and skill levels.
At Go Ride A Wave Coolangatta, safety is out priority! That’s why we conduct our lessons close to the shore, in waist-deep water. This approach ensures a controlled and secure learning environment, especially for beginners. While competitions and seasoned surfers venture out deeper to catch waves off the point, our lessons are designed to provide a safe introduction to the world of surfing.
Coolangatta’s unique geography not only ensures safety but also caters to surfers of varying skill levels. Whether you’re a novice learning to catch your first wave or an experienced surfer seeking a reliable spot, our diverse offerings make it an inclusive destination for everyone.

Was the BEST Experience, both my 9 & 10 yr old boys begged me to come again 😂 they were quite good surprisingly. They managed to get up 6-7 times in a row there’s towards the end. It was cute, watching them Hi-Five each other…

Just had a lesson with Arthur this morning. I didn’t think I’d be able to get upright onto the board as I had failed miserably in a previous first lesson, but we did it…many times! Arthur was patient, kind and was very good with giving out tailored advice to both my partner…
