    The Gold Coast has a number of theme parks, as well as many other attractions, Beaches, Bushland, Sanctuary Cove.. It is also in the vicinity of several other towns/cities, that can easily be visited on a day trip. Brisbane and Tweed Heads are definitely worth a visit.

    Everything about the Gold Coast region is beautiful, especially the climate.

    Just sticking another pix up of Hastings Point for emphasis haha. This is the best local tip you'll get of the Gold Coast. Hastings Point is south of the border along the coast road past Kingscliff and Cabaritta. Don't blink or you might miss it is small. But you probably will not miss the lovely sight of Hastings Point lagoon as you pass over a bridge. Anyway, here's a pic from one of the houses up on the hill overlooking the ocean.

    It's a fair bet that one of the things you'll do is go to the beach while you're on the Gold Coast. That is, after all, the reason the whole place started.

    When I first came up here from Newcastle it was basically Coolangatta and Surfers Paradise. My first trip also co-incided with the commencement of the never-ceasing boom and the sprawl of development that seeks to swallow up every last bit of land in the area, sometimes with little thought of the environment. I can recall a time when there was a warning sign about koalas crossing near Currumbin. Of course, they never had a chance. They only ones you'll see here now are in a zoo. Once you rip the habitat out it's bye, bye animals. The lasting thing is the beaches, but even that has changed. What used to be three breaks at Snapper Rocks, Coolongatta and Kirra is now just one when the big swells roll in as tonnes of sand and some flawed development have seen the beach change shape forever.......................until man decides to change it again. This particular photo is of North Burleigh or Miami, take your pick, they're so close they overlap. It just happens to be my grandaughter in the snap on a day when I had my first surf of the year and had my first day at the beach with her.

    Here's the beach at Surfers Paradise early one morning... You'll find lots of joggers and surfers at this time but not so many swimmers... :)

    The beach, the atmosphere, to total relaxation of it all. Some useful websites for the Gold Coast are: http://www.goldcoastaustralia.com http://www.coastwatch.com http://www.wotson.com.au/

    White sand beaches, clear water, rolling surf, rocky hinterlands, swimming, snorkelling, beach barbecues....a typical Queensland summer....

  • The beaches are great, even in mid-winter people are still swimming and surfing.The climate is fantastic, the water was so clear that I could see through the waves.

    Coolangatta, where we spent a couple of days. It is about 15 minutes drive from Surfers but has a totally different feel to it.It seems more laid back and relaxed (if that is possible) and not as 'touristy'.

  • Visit the beaches and many malls. SeaWorld is an absolute must.

    I was impressed with the amount of couples, young and old, that show displays of affection in public. Everything seems to be family oriented. Visits to the beaches even prove this family unity.

  • 'Sun, surf and sand'. Gold Coast is one of the top ten beaches in the world and also the top tourist destination in Australia. Famous for its stunning beaches, subtropical rainforest and great entertainment options.

    The excellent atmosphere here keeps the city lively and spirited all the time. Just enjoy yourself!

  • My favourite part of the Gold Coast is actually the very bottom of it - Coolangatta Beach. Being just a stones throw from the New South Wales border it is about 20 minutes south of Surfers Paradise (the Gold Coast's 'heart'). Coolie shares its beauty with Greenmount Beach. Both are safe swimming in and you actually have your own breathing space on the beach near the flags.

    Given I've spent my life on these beaches I can't say one such moment, though when I close my eyes (not so easy to type that way!!) I can see the normal sight - a beautiful sandy beach that seems to stretch on forever. The Surfers Paradise area ('Surfers'...notice how we shorten everything - lazy mob huh?) has a beach thats about 42 klms long (don't quote me on that) so for those people who like to run till they reach the end and then turn around...prepare yourself. I walk, stop and stare at the beauty of the wave just rolling in, one after the other. Bizarre concept that. So the best moment is every moment. I don't think I've had a bad one yet. Even when I've run there brimming with tears and a nervous system that could launch a rocket I've walked away serene. Water - my calmer. Screw yoga - go sit on the beach and veg out!!!
