Your day at the track

Grandstands and viewing spots

No stands. The cars line the closed street and you walk the length of Marine Parade and Griffith Street, with the beach on one side.

Getting there

Gold Coast Airport is a couple of kilometres south, under five minutes' drive. Buses run to Coolangatta from across the Gold Coast and northern NSW, including from the airport, and from the north the light rail connects to buses at Broadbeach South. During Cooly Rocks On, Marine Parade and the Greenmount Car Park close (in 2025 from McLean Street to Hill Street), so parking moves to paid lots and shopping centre car parks in town. Ride share drop off for the festival is on Lanham Street.

Public transport

Several regular bus routes run to Coolangatta, including one from Gold Coast Airport. From Brisbane and the northern Gold Coast, the train connects to the light rail at Helensvale, and a bus runs from Broadbeach South to Griffith Street.

Good to know

The track

Marine Parade is the beachfront street through Coolangatta at the southern end of the Gold Coast, running along Coolangatta and Greenmount beaches. It is a public road. For Cooly Rocks On each June the Show 'N' Shine car display takes over Marine Parade and Griffith Street, the main street of Coolangatta, and both close to traffic for set periods of the festival.
