DISABLED ACCESS

The majority of the exhibition can be seen from the path along the foreshore.  There is limited access to sculptures positioned on the beach and on Elephant Rock. The best option for access is midweek with better parking accessibility and reduced visitor numbers for ease of manoeuvring.  Disabled parking is available near the Information Hub (adjacent Murraba Street) and at the Alley car park.
 
ACCOMMODATION
Why not stay a little longer.... from Currumbin, Tugun, Kirra to Coolangatta

Public toilets are located in the Wallace Nicoll Park (opposite the Alley car park) at the northern end of Pacific Parade and portaloos at Murraba Street adjacent to the Information Hub.
 
FOOD, DRINKS AND REFRESHMENTS

You are most welcome to bring a blanket and a packed picnic lunch, sit amongst the sculptures and enjoy the exhibition!  The walk is 1km in length so a bottle of water is a good idea for each member of the family.
