Lip Falls

Lip Falls is a waterfall and swimming hole located on Back Creek near Beechmont, in Queensland's Gold Coast hinterland.

It sits within easy reach of the Gold Coast — roughly 50 minutes from Surfers Paradise — and about an hour and twenty minutes from Brisbane, making it a popular day-trip destination.

The falls feed a clear natural pool set within forest, offering a refreshing swim in a secluded bush setting.

Back Creek also hosts several other falls in the same canyon system, including Cavern Falls, Rainbow Falls, and Double Falls, making the area a draw for both casual visitors and canyoneers.

Access involves a walk along a trail in generally good condition, descending to the creek before reaching the falls.
