KURRIMINE BEACH
WHERE YOU CAN WALK TO THE REEF
Kurrimine Beach offers a seaside holiday the way it used to be. Only 10 kilometres from the Bruce Highway, yet untouched by major development, it has absolute beachfront accommodation in front of a glorious, long stretch of sand. So close to the reef that you can actually walk there at low tide. Choose from a resort, caravan parks with cabins and campsites, motels, and holiday rentals. The charming village boasts a winery, beachfront pub, cafe, post office, petrol station, general store, and a laid-back atmosphere.
At low tide, you'll see these old cane farm tractors in action launching or retrieving boats.
