Currumbin, Coastal administrative division in Gold Coast City, Australia
Currumbin is a coastal area on the Gold Coast stretching from Currumbin Creek to Wyberba Street, with a long beach between the Pacific Motorway and the Coral Sea. The region blends residential neighborhoods with beachfront access and includes schools, a wildlife sanctuary, and public facilities.
Samuel William Grey established the first European settlement in the late 1800s, converting the forested Currumbin Creek area into farmland. This transformation shaped the region's development from natural landscape into a settled community.
The Swell Sculpture Festival turns Currumbin Beach into an open-air art gallery each September, where artists display works along the shore and dunes. Visitors can experience the area as a living creative space while walking along the water.
The beach is easily accessible for swimming and walking along the shoreline. The area has schools for families and the wildlife sanctuary is open for daytime visits.
The wildlife sanctuary focuses on rare species, housing Goodfellow's tree-kangaroos, ring-tailed lemurs, and red pandas in its facilities. These animals come from different parts of the world and are cared for on site.
