Coolangatta is not an aboriginal word in its purest form.

The word is believed to be an Anglicised derivation of an aboriginal word meaning "beautiful place" or "splendid view". In fact, in 1846, a ship named the Coolangatta was wrecked off the coast nearby, and the region was named in honour of this lost ship.
