Greenmount Beach, Beach area in Coolangatta, Gold Coast, Australia.
Greenmount Beach is a beach in Coolangatta on Queensland's Gold Coast, separated from Coolangatta beach to the west and Rainbow Bay to the east by the Greenmount Point headland. It is home to the Tweed Heads & Coolangatta Surf Life Saving Club and the Greenmount Beach Surf Club, and shark nets protect the swimming area.
Greenmount Beach takes its name from the Greenmount Guest House, opened in 1905 by Patrick J. Fagan. Fagan named the guest house after his birthplace in County Meath, Ireland, and the beach later inherited the name.
The beach draws surfers and swimmers from across the region who gather regularly to enjoy the water. It has become a natural meeting point for people who love ocean activities and outdoor recreation.
A lifeguard service patrols the beach during swimming hours to keep visitors safe. The shore has marked areas for swimmers and surfers, making it easy to find where to go.
A natural headland divides the main beach from nearby Rainbow Bay, creating different conditions on each side. Surfers often choose their side based on the waves and time of day.
