The activities on the Gold Coast bring smiles to people of all ages and stages. With exhilarating rides, exotic animals and endless waterslides to help you cool off on hot summer days, your Gold Coast holiday offers a full spectrum of interactive entertainment – from dazzling big budget Gold Coast theme parks to small, hilariously kitsch museums. Discover something new from pure, adrenalin-packed fun to natural indulgence, the contrasts of the Gold Coast unite to deliver every holiday experience you could desire.
We all love theme parks and sunny beaches, but many people forget about all of the other activities that makes the Gold Coast such a well-rounded and varied holiday destination. Today, underrated Gold Coast attractions such as winery tours, walking trails, island adventures and mountain drives are just as popular as the theme parks and beaches.

The Coast is a place where night bites, hatted restaurants, street-eats and breweries are all served with a side of alfresco. A place where five-star feasting means dusting the sand from your feet; where surfers swap their boards for a latte at sun-up and little ones break from beachside frolics to feast on epic spreads of fish and chips. Whether you find yourself among the cool crowd at Nobby Beach, or part of the social scene in Broadbeach or Surfers Paradise, consider yourself an acai aficionado, a sausage sizzler or a coffee connoisseur, nothing says you’ve had a cracker-of-a-holiday quite like gaining a little extra padding around the middle. Bon appétit!

Along the 72-kilometres of coastline and west to the mountains, the Gold Coast has some of the most diverse range of village-like locales in Australia. From laid-back beachside suburbs to rural acreage properties or boutique urban apartments, just take a wander and you’ll find a pleasant surprise awaits you around every corner. Few places in the world serve up cruisy coastal digs alongside swanky city establishments. On the Gold Coast, each neighbourhood knocks up a flavour entirely its own.
SOUTH Revel in the relaxing vibes akin to the retro beach culture of days gone by, sip a pale ale with surfing legends, make friends with laid-back locals at beachside burger bars (where going barefoot is encouraged), and meander along the crystalline shoreline that stretches from Palm Beach (‘Palmy’) down to Coolangatta (‘Cooly’). CENTRAL For cosmopolitan coolness, cruise north along the sand from Burleigh to Main Beach to discover an urban hood turning on more swag than meets the eye. Expect night bites, hatted restaurants, hidden and not-so-secret bars, shopping destinations and perfect beaches.

NORTH Jam-packed with joie de vivre, the north is known for charming all in a matter of moments. Feast in sophisticated settings by yacht-filled marinas, settle in for a bit of deck-side wining and dining on the Broadwater, or dial up the pace and let the nostalgia kick-in at theme parks that rise from the sand.
