Sun, Surf & Scenic Spots

With 70km of stunning coastline, it’s no surprise the Gold Coast is one of Australia’s top beach destinations. Head to Burleigh Heads for calm waters and an unbeatable headland walk, or try Tallebudgera Creek for a picture-perfect swim. Surfers will love the world-class waves at Snapper Rocks and Currumbin Alley. And of course, no trip is complete without a stroll along the golden sands of Surfers Paradise.

Beyond the beach, adventure awaits! Take in the epic views from SkyPoint Observation Deck, wander through Currumbin Valley’s rock pools, or explore the glow worm caves at Natural Bridge in Springbrook National Park.

Thrills & Theme Parks

For those who love an adrenaline rush, the Gold Coast is home to Australia’s biggest theme parks. Ride world-famous rollercoasters at Dreamworld, get up close with your favourite characters at Warner Bros. Movie World, or cool off at Wet’n’Wild.

Prefer something off the beaten track? Try iFLY Indoor Skydiving, go ziplining through the rainforest at TreeTop Challenge, or take a jet boat ride through the Broadwater.

Eat & Drink Like a Local

From casual beachfront cafés to top-tier dining experiences, the Gold Coast is a paradise for food lovers. Start your day with a fresh smoothie or an acai bowl from one of the many beachside cafés, perfect for a post-swim refuel. For lunch, enjoy a relaxed meal with ocean views, with plenty of options along the coastline serving up fresh seafood, gourmet burgers, and classic pub fare.

As the sun sets, there’s no better place for a drink than one of the many surf clubs or rooftop bars offering sweeping coastal views. If craft beer is more your style, the region is home to a thriving brewery scene, with plenty of local taprooms to explore. For dinner, take your pick from modern Australian restaurants, international cuisines, or intimate laneway eateries – whether you’re after a casual bite or a fine dining experience, there’s something for every taste.

What’s On – Events & Festivals

The Gold Coast knows how to put on a show, with a year-round calendar of events. From the Magic Millions horse racing carnival to the Blues on Broadbeach festival, there’s always something happening. Motorsport fans can’t miss the Gold Coast 500, while pop culture lovers will want to check out Supanova Comic Con & Gaming.

For something different, explore the spectacular SWELL Sculpture Festival, step back in time at Cooly Rocks On, or cheer on the athletes at the Gold Coast Triathlon.

Explore the Hinterland

When it’s time to escape the crowds, head inland to the lush Gold Coast hinterland. Lamington National Park and Tamborine Mountain are just a short drive away, offering rainforest walks, waterfalls, and incredible lookouts. Go wildlife spotting at O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat, hand-feed kangaroos at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, or take a scenic drive through the Numinbah Valley.
