The Gold Coast is one of Australia's leading holiday playgrounds and Gold Coast City has been identified as one of the most desirable places in the world to live. With 42km of sun-drenched beaches, World Heritage Listed rainforests, theme parks, shopping and nightlife, it has everything for everyone.
The most popular areas are Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach however the remainder of "the Coast" offers good quality accommodation close to the beaches and transport. All of this means that nothing is too far away from the many attractions of the Gold Coast.
Beaches
The Gold Coast stretches along 70 kms of coastline and 446 kilometres of canals and tidal rivers. Southport's Broadwater and South Moreton Bay make Australia's largest expanse of calm water, and you can swim and surf safely all year at 35 patrolled beaches. Balmy subtropical climate makes beachcombing a pleasure - with an average 25 degrees with 300 days of sunshine per year and water temperature of 22 degrees.

 Head inland for a contrasting experience. Visit pretty hinterland areas such as Tamborine Mountain or get the sense of rural lifestyle at places such as Beaudesert.
