Elephant Rock

Elephant Rock is a coastal lookout and nature spot in Currumbin, Gold Coast, offering a straightforward reward for a short climb: stairs lead to a platform at the top of the rock, where visitors can look north towards Surfers Paradise and south towards Coolangatta.

The park is tagged by the City of Gold Coast as a lookout and a place for exploring nature. It suits visitors wanting a walk with a view, whether you are travelling solo, meeting friends or taking in the coastline as part of a broader beach outing. There is no need to plan around a café or other named facilities here; the appeal is the elevated outlook and the surrounding outdoor setting.

Elephant Rock is at 741 Pacific Parade, Currumbin. Translink buses run along Pacific Parade at Currumbin Beach, and the location can also be reached by walking, running or cycling. Parking at the surf club is limited, with on-street parking available in nearby streets. Check signs and line markings before leaving your vehicle.

Dogs must be walked on a leash unless signage states otherwise, and they are not allowed in children’s playground areas. The City also directs dog owners to designated off-leash exercise areas elsewhere. For a visit focused on views, movement and exploring the natural setting, Elephant Rock is a clearly defined Currumbin stop rather than a full-day facilities-based park.
