If you're doing your own cooking, there's a 24-hour
convenience store
inside the Beach House complex beside the
Coolangatta Hotel
, and bigger
supermarkets
across the border at the main shopping centre on Wharf Street, in Tweed Heads. There are plenty of
snack bars
along Griffith Street; check out
Orbansen's Milk Bar
, at no. 23, for its genuine 1950s decor, which includes a jukebox selector at each table. As for
restaurants
,
Little Malaya Restaurant
, right at the northern end of Marine Parade near the
Coolangatta Sands Hotel
, does an unforgettable crispy-fried whole fish in sour chilli sauce for $23 (enough for two), while the Surf Lifesaving Club down near the border at Greenmount Beach has good-value burgers, salads, sandwiches and cold drinks.
Coolangatta's
nightlife
centres around the pubs - you'll have to rely on posters to find out what's on. Best are sessions at the
Coolangatta Sands Hotel
's fairly relaxed bar (corner of Griffith and McLean streets) and the
Coolangatta Hotel
's nightclub (corner of Griffith and Warner streets), which has live music and pool competitions. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
