Welcome to the Gold Coast - where the sun shines, the beaches glisten and the sunny coastline offers a little something for everyone! Australia’s party, adventure and relaxation capital is the ideal getaway destination for just about anyone. In simple terms… it is paradise.

Whether you have just a few days or an entire week (or month), there are more than enough places, activities and attractions to keep you occupied. Here are some of our suggestions for those who love to be in contact with nature…

Hit the beach

Ok this is an obvious one! The Main Beach of Surfer’s Paradise is the prime location to bask in the sun and hit the waves. Also, there are plenty of other ‘less touristy’ beaches located along the Gold Coast.

Skypoint Observation Deck

For those of you keen to get a 360 degree glimpse the Gold Coast, a visit to the Skypoint Observation Desk is a must! It is the ultimate place to take a holiday snap of your Gold Coast experience.

Springbrook National Park

If you urge to explore, then a short drive to Springbrook National Park should be on your list. The park offers walking tracks through rainforest leading to waterfalls, creeks and our favourite Springbrook beauties – Natural Bridge and Twin Falls.

Hire a Bike

One of the best ways to explore the Gold Coast beaches is to hire a bike. You can set off on any of the 800km of bike trails connecting the Gold Coast. Bike Hire Gold Coast offer free pick up from your accommodation whilst Get On your Bike have pick up locations.

Currumbin Rock Pools

Around 20km south of Surfer’s Paradise you will find the natural swimming water holes. It is a great place for a cool off, a swim and for the adventurous – rock jumping! (Be sure to check water levels first).

Dolphin Watching

There are 700 Bottlenose Dolphins playfully cruising around the Cost as well as Turtles and Dugongs! Dolphins in Paradise offer Day tours from the Gold and the chance to spot Dolphins in the wild!

White Party NYE

Each year the White Party takes place on a top secret island location just a short boat ride away from the Gold Coast. It is your chance to celebrate 2016 with your best buddies on an island paradise!
