The Gold Coast is probably Australia's best known holiday region with incredible beaches stretching from Southport at the northern end to the New South Wales border. Averages 300 days of sunlight and attracts over 3 million visitors per year. 

An incredible collection of Gold Coast accommodation is available to service the influx of tourists and holiday makers, with features, facilities and budgets to suit every taste and budget. Visitors with only a short stop-over or who prefer the convenience of an hotel will find an excellent choice of Gold Coast hotels to meet their every need.

Tons of entertainment in nightclubs and the Casino, boutique shopping in the many malls and shopping centres, an extensive range of world class Gold Coast golf courses,  entertainment theme parks, cruises, tours, wildlife parks, fine dining... every wish is catered for.

The jewel in the Gold Coast crown is the unbroken 42 km string of pristine beaches that are the major attraction for Gold Coast holidays. The coastline offers some of the world's best surfing spots as well as secluded calm water estuaries and inlets, perfect for small children.

The beaches stretch from Southport at the northern end, through Main Beach, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Miami, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, Currumbin, Tugun, Bilinga, Kirra and finally Coolangatta at the New South Wales border.

The Gold Coast boasts some world class resort golf courses, played by the world's leading professionals in some of Australia's major tournaments.

Travel just a few minutes inland to the hinterland with its unspoiled rainforests, spectacular views, bush-walking, wildlife and National Parks. Several fine hinterland resorts cater to those wanting to enjoy the region but bypass the sun, sand and sea holiday. To fully appreciate all that the Gold Coast has to offer, visitors should consider a rental car if they are not travelling with their own vehicle.

gold coast holiday imageGold Coast Attractions - most of the attractions are located at the northern end of the Gold Coast and have reasonable access from both the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Dreamworld, an Australian version of Disneyland with rides and attractions, and Koala Town, a nature reserve, are both near Coomera which is 56 km south of Brisbane.

Warner Bros Movie World is a working movie studio that also provides tourist attractions, stunt shows and movie and cartoon characters to entertain the kids. Wet 'n Wild is a comprehensive mixture of slides, toboggans, wave pools, twisters together with facilities for the younger children. These two attractions are next to each other adjacent the Pacific Highway 3 km south of Oxenford.

The Spit at Southport is home to Seaworld, the largest aquatic park in Australia. Performing dolphins, whales, seals together with waterskiing and aquaballet displays. Also a series of roller-coaster rides.

The Hinterland - the "green behind the gold" and a popular day trip destination for Gold Coast holiday makers. An area of  National Parks, rainforests, scenic lookouts and lodges. Rugged country with narrow, steep and winding roads. Drive carefully.

Take the circuit from Coolangatta south to Murwillumbah and swing north through Crystal Creek, Chillingham, Numinbah, Natural Bridge, Nerang, Mudgeeraba and back to the coast.

Another option is to take a detour from Nerang and head west through Tamborine National Parks taking in Wilson's Lookout, Thunderbird Park and Cedar Creek Falls before rejoining the highway at Beenleigh.
