Local beaches too crowded. Entertainment, food & drink expensive.
In a nutshell
Great people, great food, lots to see and do - what more could you want?
123 Reviews Have just started a trip around Australia and recently visited the gold Coast Theme Parks. I purchased a single entry ticket to Sea World for $79 and then found out that I could of purchased the VIP pass for $119 which includes unlimited entry to Sea World, Movie World and Wet n Wild through my...
23 Reviews Wow, where to begin? If you're looking at the Gold Coast as your main place to stay and base everything out of, then going to Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin's) is quite a hike as it is located on the Sunshine Coast (which is around 3 hours North of Brisbane by car, which in turn is about an hour North...
31 Reviews After much debate, we decided to head up to Tamborine mountain, really really enjoyed the day. A few wineries, cheese tasting and gallery walk. Really great day out....only 30 mins from Surfers Paradise.
22 Reviews Ripley's Believe It Or Not is a museum featuring hundreds of believe it or not exhibits, amazing stories, magic, mystery, incredible illusions, interactive displays and a couple of movies. It is a self guided tour which takes you through twelve individually themed galleries and it takes an hour or...

4 Reviews There are quite a few places I enjoy eating at, such as: Montezuma's (Mexican), Frenchy's (Seafood), Captain's Table (Seafood), Bavarian Haus (German), Grumpy's Wharf (Seafood), Oscar's (A La Carte)... Each place has its own unique atmosphere, be it situated in a marina, overlooking the Pacific,...
Horizons Restaurant, Sheraton.
2 Reviews This was one of the very nice restaurants in the hotel. You can try some local delicacies like Moreton Bay Bugs (a shellfish) which are thicker than the meat of a lobster and have their own delightful taste. Barramundi which can either be a salt or freshwater fish and considered by many as the...
8 Reviews Although I have put the Casino in as one of the nightlife tips, like all casinos it is open for business 24 hours/7 days a week, but it is at night when Jupiters comes to life. Jupiters Casino is the only licensed casino on the Gold Coast and is a resort casino with a host of facilities from...
3 Reviews The Gold Coast is the place to party. Surfers Paradise is a tourist mecca with lots happening all the time. Coolangatta comes alive too. The theatre restaurants are good for a laugh as well. There's one at Broadbeach called Draculas. Food and show are included in the price and it's near the Casino...
25 Reviews Although its often easier to drive, the bus service operated by Surfside for Translink does provide a reasonably comprehensive service. Services along the Gold Coast Highway are frequent, however many routes elsewhere operate hourly or half hourly at best. Local buses are an inexpensive way to get...
12 Reviews If you have flown into the Gold Coast, I’d suggest that the only viable transport is by rented car. This will prove somewhat less expensive than taxis if you plan to do any exploring, and is certainly more convenient than the bus service. Ensure the hire company gives you a road map. Now, maybe this...
13 Reviews I love shopping here! Its located in Helensvale just before you hit the Gold Coast from Brisbane. Its a massive shopping complex with discount designer or brand name gear. You can get your surf clothing here (billabong, ripcurl etc); homewares; books; electronics; shoes; kids wear; mens suit; right...
14 Reviews The beaches of the Gold Coast are beautiful and alot of tourists have the impression that they are safe, but unfortunately sometimes they have rips and currents which can drag people out to sea and/or drown them. Always.....always swim between the flags which is patrolled by lifeguards. If you get...
6 Reviews If you ever want to avoid the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise, well, when Schoolie's week is on is the time to do it. At the end of November, and the 1st week of December every year, thousands of School leavers converge on the Coast for a good time, I'm afraid its not a good time for a lot of them...
10 Reviews "I always thought of the Gold Coast as a place of harmony, sunshine, partying and surf but while on our recent holiday there I witnessed a lot more. Sure they have the surf, the partying and the sunshine but we saw no sign of harmony in fact I put it close to disarray. The place is dirty, tacky and...
5 Reviews make sure you pack a beach bag so you can keep all your things in there when you go swimming, but make sure you dont mind if it gets sandy. Summer is really good, just wear whatever you want.... as long as it doesnt involve much haha! Really light clothing, or better still stay at the beach or day...
10 Reviews Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen and slap on a hat!! Have these items with you all the time and drink plenty of water. It is important to keep hydrated in this climate. If it an overcast day & you dont think that you will burn....think again!! The sun is very strong here.
24 Reviews Since Sarah and I took our trip during the middle of winter, we did not spend as much time at the beach, but rather out in the Hinterland, which is chock full of beautiful National Parks. Binna Burra is full of great bushwalks, and has many guides who are trained naturalists, to show you the part...
8 Reviews This is definitely undiscovered, but only a couple of kilometres from Surfers Paradise. A large sand island 20km long, it has empty beaches. A ferry runs from the west side of The Spit for about $7 return. A more expensive ferry to Couran Cove runs several time past the campgrounds.
13 Reviews Hi there, Just came back from vacation in Gold Coast few weeks ago. Surprisely, it was a school break that time and we didn't aware about that. We spent 2 days wednesday and thursday and found that it's not really crowded and no problem to enjoy the parks though it was school break. I dun really...
7 Reviews YOU HAVE WRITTEN YOUR POST CARD, AND NOW WANT TO BUY THE STAMP AND POST IT....... Don't worry, there are a number of Post Offices on the Gold Coast. They provide more than Stamps these days! Their range of services includes ....electronic banking and passport interviews, stationery & gifts as...
