About The Coolangatta Hotel

Right across from the sand on Marine Parade, this storied pub pairs cold schooners with ocean views and big-energy live sets. Snag a sunny front table after a swim or head to the band room for touring rock gigs and weekend lineups. The kitchen runs all day without afternoon shutdowns—handy for rolling in post-surf for a medium-rare steak burger or a rump steak slathered in peppercorn sauce alongside seasoned, crispy chips.

  • Live Band Lineups: The dedicated band room packs out on weekends with touring headliners, tribute acts, and high-energy crowds.
  • All-Day Kitchen: Full food service runs continuously past standard lunch hours without kitchen closures.
  • Oceanfront Setting: Outdoor seating overlooks Marine Parade and the beach, ideal for casual afternoon beers and classic pub meals.
