Venue Manager

Emerging from the salty shores of Australia’s finest surf breaks and hanging for that post surf fuel? 4Pines X Boardriders Coolangatta is a short 100m stroll from those white sandy shores, nestled on the beach front of the busy Strand precinct.

With the coffee steaming and bacon crackling from the early hours, welcome in a new day by cozin’ up to your mates and throwing shakas to the early morning groms.

The open layout, clad in reclaimed wood, and bejewelled with festoon lighting, heralds 6 taps of our finest beer with 2 Keller door taps pumping some of the freshest, unique and innovative styles from our in house Smart brew Kit. Yep, a small scale Brewery opposite the beach.

What more could you want from a Coolangatta Pub? The venue is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
