Gold Coast Holidays

gold coast attractions

It's an undeniable fact that the lure of the Gold Coast is its beaches. An unbroken 50 km string of pristine surf beaches that stretch from Southport at the northern end, through Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, Currumbin, Kirra and finally Coolangatta at the New South Wales border.

With lifesaver patrolled surf beaches and bather amenities at all of these locations, and many others too numerous to mention, plus 300 days of sunlight per year and a relaxed, laid back lifestyle, its no wonder the Gold Coast attracts over 3 million visitors per year.

An incredible collection of Gold Coast holiday apartments and resorts is available to service the influx of tourists and holiday makers, ranging from budget accommodation to 5 star luxury.  Visitors with only a short stop-over or who prefer the convenience of an hotel will find an excellent choice of Gold Coast hotels that will meet their every need.

Every wish is catered for on the Gold Coast with nightclub entertainment, the lure of gaming and lavish floor shows at Jupiters Casino, boutique shopping in the many malls and shopping centres, an extensive range of world class Gold Coast golf courses, theme parks, cruises, tours, wildlife parks, fine dining... it all there.     

Entertainment theme parks are major attractions and attract the family holidaymakers. Seaworld, Dreamworld, Movieworld and Wet ' Wild are the better known parks. See the banner ad above for recommended transfers to and from the theme parks.

Just short drive inland is the "green behind the gold", otherwise known as the Gold Coast hinterland. With its spectacular views, unspoiled rainforest enclaves, bush-walking trails, abundant wildlife and National Parks, it provides excellent change of pace from the sun, sand and surf. Several fine hinterland lodges cater to those wanting to spend some time in the region.
