Kirra Point

Dude. The name “Kirra” is synonymous with surfing, and many surfing legends were teethed on Kirra’s rolling barrels. Located just above the state line in Queensland’s southernmost town, Kirra Point reigns as the east coast’s champion maker. Hard-core surfers will tell you that this beach is only a shadow of its former self, destroyed by a government sand-pumping project in 2002, but this is still quintessential Australia. When the swell is right, you’ll see perfect barrels--and perfect bodies, no doubt.
