The views are excellent, with views of the entire coastline, the sea and sky are one color when the weather is good, and the sunset at dusk is especially fantastic.

A hidden beach with clear water, stones and waves complementing each other, less crowded and very quiet on weekdays. You can walk down to the beach and step on the sand, take pictures, blow the sea breeze, and watch the sunset slowly change color on the edge of the sky.

4. Captain Cook Memorial Lighthouse
Address: Tweed Terrace & Boundary Street | Point Danger, Coolangatta, Gold Coast, Queensland 4225, Australia

The lighthouse is simple and modern in appearance, standing up all around unobstructed, overlooking the entire coastline. At sunset, taking silhouette photos with the lighthouse is especially Feel!

✨Play & Shooting Tips:
- Most beautiful time: dusk (about 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm), when the sunset gradually falls from high altitude to the sea level, golden yellow waterfalls sprinkle the entire sea surface, which is heartwarming.
- Recommended Itinerary: From the city center, walk along the coast to the attractions (which can be completed in about 2 hours).
- Remember to bring a camera or phone, the filter can use warm tones to highlight the sunset colors more.
- If the weather is unstable or the waves are too big, remember to follow the safety instructions on site and do not go too close to the sea.
- There are no special restaurants near the beach, it is recommended to bring your own snacks or water, there are drink vending machines and public seating along the way.
