Australia's Playground - the Gold Coast is beckoning you!

Everyone has a favourite place to visit in Australia. For some it’s the buzz and vibrancy of Sydney, others the calmness of the coast around Melbourne and for some it’s the tropical wonderland of the Northern Territory. But the current hottest destination for tourism is the Gold Coast!

With its sun-kissed beaches, tropical skies, wild nightlife and awesome activities it’s little wonder that the city is known as ‘Australia’s Playground’. This city has everything to offer, from the fabulous surfing waves to rows upon rows of designer boutiques. And with the destination becoming a favourite for film crews and Hollywood stars, it really is THE place to be seen this summer!

Around 10 million people visit the Gold Coast every year and they aren’t just here for the beaches! There are currently nine theme parks in the Gold Coast, ranging from the traditional thrills and spills to adventure parcs and wildlike parks. Out on the sea you can try your hand at surfing, body boarding, diving, sailing – whatever takes your fancy! And at night the city comes alive with entertainment – from backstreet bars playing live music to themed nightclubs and spectacular shows!

As for shopping – this is shopping heaven! Major shopping malls are all the rage here with many of them including multiplex cinemas, top class restaurants and health spas. But for those who like a bargain, every Sunday there is a market somewhere in the Gold Coast, either on the beach or in town to cater for those who like to rummage around and find their own piece of handmade treasure.

If you want to get in on the hottest place to be in Australia this year, then look no further than our Gold Coast guide which brings you the best of what the Gold Coast has to offer. We’ve found the best places to shop, eat, stay and visit. So plan your holiday today with a little help from us!
