Lots of incredible Australian wildlife all in one location. They have a birds of prey and crocodile show where you can often see Bob or Bindi Irwin themselves when they're in residence. Pat a kangaroo or 2 or even hug a koala. They now have a water park for the kids so be sure to take your swimmers.

Surf Spots
If you're a surfer these point and beach breaks are your best finds. A couple within easy walking distance.
Walking distance, mainly just locals as you won't find it driving by. When Moffat's is busy you will find only the locals here. Be polite and say g'day.

The very best point break, if you can stand the paddle there's a huge long slider waiting for you. On weekends you may have to brave the crowds.

Sandwiched between Currimundi Primary and Special School's is the car park for "Ann Street". It's actually Buderim Street but this spot is mainly known by the locals. Kind of more like a point break (as there are some rocks to avoid) you'll find 2 breaks either side to play with. And this spot can be less crowded than Currimundi.

If you like beach breaks this is the Shnizz. A few breaks along this stretch so there is usually plenty to pick from. It's also a great spot for families as the kids can play at the lake which is super popular on weekends for those with little ones or paddle boarders. It's also dog friendly.
