If you are going to Coolangatta without a reserving an accomodation, you can bring a Coolangatta map with you. This will be very helpful since you will be able to locate where the lodging houses are and where you should start looking. If you are on holidays and you prefer water activities, you can choose from the various accommodation houses near the beach but if you are there for business, you might consider looking for a hotel within the central business district.
