Gold Coast

The Gold Coast changes character as you travel along the shore. Surfers Paradise has the tall hotels and bright city energy, Broadbeach brings restaurants close to the sand, and Burleigh Heads offers a beachside pace with a headland walk nearby. Beyond the coastal strip, rainforest and the hinterland around Beechmont give the landscape another dimension. Choose a base near the beach and dining you want most, then allow a separate day for the hills.
