Greenmount Beach

It was my birthday last week so we took a three day weekend down in Coolangatta, staying at the Greenmount Beach Resort. The resort location was fantastic, out on a headland between two classic surf beaches

 and we could just about see the waves from our room

 The view was actually better from the corridor outside the room though

We got a good deal on the cost of the room, and once we got there we realised why. It was spotlessly clean but a little run down and in need of a refit - for example the air conditioning was a little past its prime and far too noisy to run overnight.

One of my friends summed it up best of all when he said that he had stayed there when he was a kid and he loved it, he went back 30 years later and nothing seemed to have been changed...

Anyway, on one side we had Greenmount beach

 and on the other side Rainbow Beach and the world famous Snapper Rocks

We went out twice each day to try to get the hand of the Albacore, and we both struggled to get to our feet on such a short and narrow board

 Just one more go......

 OK now I'm done

A week later we're both still sore!
