Cyclone swells, world champs, pro contests, outrageous tube rides, underground rippers – the ‘Gatta has seen it all. Focal Point celebrates this extraordinary surfing wonderland with an outdoor photo exhibition that captures peak moments from our surfing heritage by some of our region’s top surf photographers.

Informative captions tell the stories behind the images, and you can scan QR codes for extra content. Do your own self guided walk, or book a guided tour to provide additional commentary and context to truly appreciate this great, natural wonder of the surfing world.

Coolangatta has produced more world surfing champions, more world class photographers and more great surfing moments than anywhere else on earth. Focal Point is our homage to this legendary surfing playground and the talented photographers who have
documented it.
