Located between Tugun and Kirra, is the often unmentioned, and uncelebrated, suburb of Bilinga. The suburb features a mix of local residences and holiday apartments. The main feature of the suburb is the uninterrupted beach that runs from Currumbin to Kirra and on to Coolangatta.
Bilinga has become popular again with holidaymakers and property investors due to the completion of the Tugun bypass reducing traffic through the suburb and reducing the road noise that came from the highway.
Of course, the Gold Coast Airport is right across the highway from Bilinga Beach so there is still the sound of jets landing and taking off. The airport does have a curfew at 11 pm and most people, including visitors, don’t find the noise that annoying with it being a low-volume airport.
Many holiday accommodation units have direct access to the beach and feature wonderful views through to Surfers Paradise and to Coolangatta looking south. If you are OK with a little noise from the airport and are prepared to travel, by car or public transport, you will often find great deals on accommodation, and, a beautiful quiet beach to enjoy.
