Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

For surfers, I gather it is still top notch. For a person walking on the beach less so. In fact, calling it Snapper Rocks is a bit of a misnomer these days, it has had so much sand dumped on it that it is more like 'Snapper sand bank' which is a bit sad.

Having had breakfast at South East Espresso on Boundry St we headed for drive to Snapper Rocks. Parking is little bit of an issue however my mum had her parking sticker. We were able to park right at the end of Snapper Rocks Rd with an easy level walk around to the rock pools. A lovely sojourn in the sun before heading home. Have visited area numerous times and snapper is a Jewel.

A 'should not be missed' attraction if you are visiting Gold Coast. Indeed a paradise for surfers and don't miss the seafood there.

Visited on Wednesday 16th June. We had always just look at Snapper Rocks from the lookout above so this time we went down for a closer look. Very busy with surfers enjoying the waves.

This is the place where a lot of the best surfers surf. Stunning View and great to watch the surfers. Crystal clear water and lovely clean sand to walk on. We walk this beach quite often as we live close by. There is parking but you have to be quick and it gets taken early.

Snapper Rocks is an Icon on the southern end of the coast. We always make a point of driving home via the culdesac nice and slow, wind down the car window and breathe in the salt air. Stop and look across to the sand castles of Surfers Paradise and the majestic coastline leading to it and just take in what a beautiful place it is. The walkway around to Froggies is incredible at any time of the night and day. Hmmnnnn.... makes me want to go again 😝

Where to park the car in Snapper?
Onde estaciono o carro em Snapper Rocks? Estarei em Burleigh Heads. Tem parquímetro? Estacionamento pago? Em alguma rua é de graça?
Written 30 October 2018
Você pode estacionar o carro bem em frente à praia, mas como são poucas vagas sempre esta lotado. Também tem estacionamento logo atrás do morro próximo a casa 1 de salva-vidas, poucas vagas, mas com mais chances de estacionar do que em frente à praia, além das ruas secundárias perpendiculares ou paralelas próximas às praias. Não lembro de ter visto parquímetro em nenhum destes locais.
