If there’s one place that manages to capture the beauty of the southern Gold Coast it’s this national park where the bush meets the beach. Take a walk through the rainforest and eucalypt forest, along a rocky beach foreshore. Stop at some awesome lookouts where you can spot the local surfers doing what they do best. Pop out for a swim at the secluded Echo Beach, where the Tallebudgera Creek flows out to sea.
