Snapper Rocks is a charming little rocky outcrop located on the northern edge of Point Danger, nestled at the southern tip of Rainbow Bay on the Gold Coast. Known as the starting point of the famous man-made Superbank, Snapper Rocks offers an exhilarating point break that stretches through Rainbow Bay, Greenmount Point, Coolangatta Beach, and all the way to Kirra, covering around two kilometers.
This stretch, known as the Superbank, has gained a reputation as one of the most reliable surf breaks in Queensland. It proudly hosts the annual World Surf League’s Quiksilver and Roxy Pro events. The surf here is exceptional, with multiple barrel sections popping up anywhere along the wave. Since the 1990s, the quality of the surf has skyrocketed, earning it a legendary status among surfers for its long, hollow, and world-class waves.
For a perfect spot to watch the action unfold, head to the Rainbow Bay Surf Club. Here, you can enjoy a laid-back meal while soaking up the thrilling views of the break. Snapper Rocks isn't just for surfers. The area is a favorite among photographers and nature lovers too. Early mornings offer stunning sunrises over the ocean, and if you're lucky, you might even spot dolphins playing in the surf. Whether you're riding the waves or simply watching from the shore, Snapper Rocks is a must-visit destination on the Gold Coast.
