Coolangatta and its immediate neighboring "Twin Town" Tweed Heads, in New South Wales.
In the area surrounding Greenmount Point there are arguably some of the finest surfing breaks in Australia. Beginning from the southern most break on the Gold Coast is the Queensland and NSW border beach break of Duranbah, locally known as D-Bah.
Duranbah Beach has a fast breaking beach break that works best on a south east swell. The bigger the swell the faster and more hollow is the wave formation. The atmosphere on the water wave selection and positioning is aggressive and at times even tribal. Local surfers are guarded about their ownership of their famous beach break.
Duranbah Beach is often used as the location for many surfing events including international and professional surfing contests, as well as Professional Australian Surf Life Saving.
