Coolangatta
Coolangatta is the southern most suburb of the Gold Coast. Coolangatta shares the Queensland and new South Wales border with its "Twin Town" - Tweed Heads. The town of Coolangatta is situated on the beach between the rock headlands of Point Danger, Greenmount and Kirra. In early land surveys in 1883, the Twin Towns of Coolangatta and Tweed Heads were laid out on each side of the border.
The Gold Coast Airport (formerly known as the Coolangatta Airport) is located near Coolangatta.
Coolangatta offers dive sites at Kirra and Cook Island to the south. Coolangatta has Kirra and North Kirra to the north, Rainbow Bay and Tweed Heads to the south.
Coolangatta is named from the boat Coolangatta wrecked on the beach to the north of the Tweed River in 1846.
