What it is

The headland was formed by ancient basalt lava flows, and the hexagonal rock columns are visible on the seaward side. The Oceanview walk runs around the headland between the beach and the creek, and the Rainforest circuit climbs through the forest to the top. The area, known as Jellurgal to the Yugambeh people, has deep cultural significance, and the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre is at the southern end.

The point is one of the Gold Coast's best-known surf breaks, and whales can sometimes be seen offshore during the migration season.
