Ocean View Walking Palm Beach

 

 

Ocean View Walking - The options are endless...


 

Ocean View Walking Palm Beach

 

For the walkers Blue Ocean Apartment offers endless options for anyone seeking an aquatic outlook. 

The best option is what I call the Currumbin Loop or Blue Ocean Loop.  This walk starts out the front of the complex and is visible from the balcony.  You head south down this pathway and essentially keep following it through the Palm Beach Parklands area and then on through the nature reserve area complete with bush turkys and butterflys, then on along the Boardwalk through the wetlands area heading up Currumbin River.  The Boardwalk offers great river front vistas up the river with hinterland views beyond.  When the tide is in and the wetland area imersed in fresh seawater you can see many small fish swiming along and under the suspended walkway and occasionally a larger one swims under you, it can be a real novelty for the littleones.

 

Where the boardwalk ends turn left and follow the pathway markings along and under the Thrower Drive bridge and on past the skateboard activity park and then on past the Palm Beach Currumbin Sports Club and over a small bridge which leads to the walkway over the Currumbin River next to and parrallel to the Currumbin River freeway overpass. 

 

This bridge walkway takes you to the carpark area of the Currumbin RSL Club that sits on the banks of the River.  This is were you turn back towards home so just follow the path back along the river past the RSL Club, and on past the Rowing club sheads and then on to " The Boatshed"  here you will find a coffee shop and Paddleboard and Kayak hire business.

 

The trick here is to take the pathway down under the Thrower Drive bridge and then double back around and then take the footpath back over the bridge to the other side of Currumbin Creek.  Follow this on until you reach the carpark entrance then turn right and cross the carpark to meet up with the start of the board walk back trough the wetland area following the pathway back along the way you came to the apartment.  At the very end of this walk you get a magnificent view up the coast to the surfers skyline.

 

The best time to do this walk in Summer is at first light.  You will find that Queenslanders are early risers so the pathway will be busy with other walkers, joggers and cyclists at this time of the day, so you will not be alone and everyone is very friendly at this time of the day.  

 

You will also find all the cafe's open offering the opportunity to stop in for coffee or breakfast at the end of your walk.  The Dune cafe opens at 6 am with staff on hand at 5.30 am if you are desperate for a caffine fix. 

 

If the Loop walk is too short for you or you get boared with it very quickly there is also the Ocean Front walk.  Known as the Oceanway and streches the full length of the Gold Coast some 36 kilometres in length.  Just pick the level of engagement you want and head off in either direction.   

 

The best option is to head south along the Gold Coast ocean pathway which will take you all the way to Rainbow Bay and point danger lookout if you are keen.  The rainbow bay surf club is a excellant option for lunch and a cool ale. 

 

The view from the balcony seating is amazing, looking down on the south bowl beach and all the way back to the surfers skyline makes for a memeorable day.  Some of the Oceanway path remains a work in progress and so requies some street walking behind the ocean front homes in some places but by and large it is a pedestrian ocean front walk.

We have just returned from 9 nights in this AMAZING apartment, perfect location, perfect views, perfect apartment!!!! It was everything we hoped for, fully equipped with everything you need and then some. There is so much to do in the direct vicinity, we spent many days lazing by the beautiful pool then a 1 min walk to the beach.Many nights were spent cooking a poolside bbq, excellent facilities. The whole complex is immaculately maintained. We took our 2 girls (7 & 4) and they were in absolute heaven, a fantastic playground 4min walk away, fabulous restaurants near by. It was our 1st family holiday and we are about to book again for next year! We would recommend this to anyone, especially those with young children.

Zoe - July 2018

We absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Ocean Apartment and did not want to leave. The apartment was wonderful and equipped with everything we needed and the view was incredible-looking straight out towards the ocean. Sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine was so relaxing and we could watch our children in the resort style pool and spa, feeling like we were in Fiji! We could walk to the lake, shops, cafes, parks and literally straight onto the beach from the pool gate-everything was just so accessible. Rod and Cathy were so lovely and helpful with any of our queries and we will be telling all our friends looking for a holiday apartment to go here, we really enjoyed our time here!



Thanks so much

Thoughtful Inclusions

Excellent positioned apartment on the beach and adjacent to the calm water inlet with park, cafe and playground. Heated resort pool is terrific. The apartment size, layout and furnishings were great for 2adults and 2young children with heaps of thoughtful extras that make travel so much easier with a young family.


Rachelle - Sept 2016

Ocean Blue just beautiful!

We had a fantastic holiday at Ocean Blue. The views were absolutely amazing and the property facilities had everything needed to entertain a young family. Rod was a pleasure to deal with and everything ran smoothly. The apartment was lovely and clean and decked with everything that was needed to make our holiday enjoyable which saved us transporting alot of things on the plane with us. We will definitely be booking again. The pool and those views were hard to leave behind.

Fiona - Sept 2016

Hi Rod
I am writing to thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay at your lovely apartment. It was more than I expected. We absolutely loved it. It was soo comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay that much more enjoyable. The highlight of my stay was having breakfast outside with that view!

This was the first time we had traveled to Qld, but definitely not the last!
I will contact you when we plan the next trip!
Thank you again
Good luck to you and your family in the future
Cheers Hayat

A great family friendly apartment, kids want to go back already. Lots of information to help make our stay more enjoyable.

Lauren - November 2015

Thank you Rod,
Will definitely keep my eye on your website for availability.
Other resorts could take a page out of your book.
Your personal approach and consideration is outstanding.
Kind Regards

Gerry & Kathy - July 2015

We stayed here 2 years ago and decided to come back. My husband and our 2 children thoroughly enjoyed our stay here yet again. Great apartment with everything you need with ocean views from the balcony. The pool would have to be one of the best pools on the Gold Coast. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a relaxing holiday. Once again many thanks to Rod who was great to deal with.

Natalie November 2014

Have just come back from a week away at Blue Ocean Apartment. What a fantastic place to stay. Kids loved it, we loved it. That BED!!! OMG we wanted to take it home :) Thankyou Rod - we did not want to leave.

Deasey Family November 2014

Hi Rod. We had a lovely stay at Blue Ocean Apartment over the last 5 nights. Just wanted to double check that your new guests didn't cancel at last minute?!? We booked in to ****** Resort since you were booked for the extra dates we needed, and are grossly disappointed with it. Getting desperate...so thought I would check..just in case. Thanks Rod.

Lucy October 2014

This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful apartment and the second time around was even better than the first! All the little extras like beach towels and toys, pantry items and handwash, coffee machine and a great selection of tea makes this place feel like our home away from home. Our kids absolutely frothed on the amazing pool and the surf out the front was pumping. Thanks again Rod, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning soon!!

Jono & Row Mereszka May 2014

Hi Rod - thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. I am actually really excited about staying in your apartment! We have stayed in some beautiful places, but there's something about a really comfortable place right on the ocean that just tops everything! I would love to book for the 9 days if I can. If you could let me know the deposit details and I will make payment ASAP.

Trisha January 2014

A perfect apartment and location for a family escape from the Victorian winter. Had a great time and will be heading back for another holiday in the future.

Chris July 2013

Everything was covered all we had to bring were our two boys and ourselves, their were sun hats, sunblock, a superb coffee machine, toys for the children, buckets and spades and beach towls, the pool was out of this world with amazing night lights which changed colours and kept us mesmerized.

Anonymous - June 2013

It was awesome, we loved it. The apartment was bright and clean. Fabulous location with the best views. The children loved the pool, especially at night - magical. We would love to return and will now make this our place to stay on the Gold Coast! So much to do - our 10 day stay this April was far too short!

Kim Corley April 2013

What a beautiful place to stay. Everything you need is in the apartment. The pool is great with BBQs plenty of deck chairs and spa which was perfect after a big day at Movie World. The ocean is just past the pool. Fantastic view. Will definately be back to stay here.

Lyndal December 2012

We stayed at Blue Ocean Apartment for 7 nights and can highly recommend it. Fantastic apartment with everything you need. The views from the balcony are magnificent and the pool area is the best , with a great barbecue area and plenty of lounges to soak up the sun. Its the perfect getaway. We loved our stay at Blue Ocean Apartment and will definitely be back again, A+ Many thanks Rod

Natalie October 2012

We had the best three nights ever at your place and my 4 year old was quite desolate in the plane back to Sydney as he would have loved to stay there forever
As would all of us.

Evina September 2012

What a fantastic stay, the apartment was first class, clean and well equipped with views to die for (we saw whales breaching one morning). Rod was fantastic to deal with. The beds were super comfortable and there were a lot of little extras that made our stay very relaxed. Location was brilliant also, the lagoon is great for swimming even in July and we had nightly swims with the kids in the pool and spar after big days at the theme parks. We will be back for sure :-)

Paul July 2012

There were 4 of us. Myself, my 15 yr old daughter, my 80 yr old dad, and my 73 yr old mother who has alzheimers. We had a blast. Long walks on the beach every morning followed by a swim in the pool and 15 mins in the steam room. We also went standup paddle boarding on the lagoon. We appreciated the little extras especially the hats and beach towels. My daughter didn't want to leave and my dad wants to make a permanent booking. We highly recommend staying here.

Emesha, June 2012

Awesome place to stay. Perfect for us with a 10yr old and 82 yr old. Apartment super clean with all the stuff you need for self catering - comfy beds and all the mod cons - great coffee machine. Loved the pool complex with BBQ. Fab views from very sheltered balcony. Great to walk onto the sand and into the surf every morning. Could call the 10yr old up from the pool for dinner. Easy to get straight onto the motorway and drive to all the attractions. Nice to be out of the Surfers bustle but easy to get there when you wanted to. Thanks for the stay. Beautiful morning suntrap!

Chrisy , April 2012

"The apartment is very clean, well equipped and perfect for some needed down time. The ocean views are just magnificent, so is the pool and the hot tub within the property. It truly feels like best of both worlds, with a personal touch. Liaising with Rod the owner of the property is what endeared me to make my choice in the first place, he is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the area even assisting with car hire options. My 2 friends came from Canada and another from South Africa are still raving about the Gold Coast and the property had a lot to do with it."

Lalie - December 2011

"Apart from the breathtaking view and amazing access to one of the best beaches in Australia this apartment was an absolute dream. A huge dining room and queenslands biggest breakfast bench allowed for quality family time in comfort and with first quality facilities. This was the first time I have booked a room where the place was actually bigger than the pictures suggested. Finally I want to thank Rod for the little things... Vegemite in the cupboard, coffee machine with refills, beach towels and the brand new BBQ tools. My family and I had a great experience and all of our visitors were equally impressed... Thanks "
