Snapper
Rocks
Gold Coast, Queensland,
Australia
Snapper Rocks
is one of the best breaks along the east coast of Australia. It
used to be an average wave until they started dredging in 1995 the
sand out of the Tweed River and dumping it to the east of Snapper.
With all this sand being dumped, it didn't take to long for it to
build a super sand bank and become one of the longest waves in the
world. There's plenty of places to stay, from back packer hostels
to 5 star resorts. Surfers Paradise is just up the road if you want
to get into the clubbing scene, there's also plenty of things to
do around the Gold Coast if the surfs not working.
