POOL YOUR RESOURCES
Just 10 minutes from the beaches of
Currumbin you will find the
Currumbin
Rock Pools
.
With grassy flats and the
rock pools to explore, both the young and young
at heart will love exploring this pristine natural
environment. Be warned – on a sunny day the pools
are quite a hit, but there is still plenty of room for
everyone.

IMPRESSIVE
MARKETING
Stocking local designs
and vintage finds, you
will spot fashionistas in the know at
The Village Markets
.
Held every
second Sunday on the oval at the
Burleigh Heads State School, the
markets attract shoppers from all
over the Coast who congregate to
shop, eat gourmet foods and listen to
live local bands.
WHAT A CATCH!
Fresh is best, especially when
it comes to seafood, which is
why locals buy their ocean
treats straight from the trawler
at
Gold Coast Fisherman’s
Co-operative
.
Head to Main
Beach with your esky full of ice,
and buy your lunch straight from
the fisherman who caught it. You
can expect king prawns, spanner
crabs, Balmain bugs, sand
crabs, squid and octopus. Visit
Seaworld Drive, Main Beach or
