Australia’s famous beach lies at the heart of Queensland’s Gold Coast. Swim and surf along the expansive beaches with this two kilometre stretch of golden sand.
Play your own way. Go out on the water for some whale watching, take care of yourself with a spa day or sports and recreation.
More parks and attractions than point breaks, the Gold Coast is the adrenaline capital of Australia where superheroes defend the fun and slippery seals plant a wet kiss.
Choose from hinterland in the west or ocean to the east. Explore our huge range of super outdoors-ey things, like epic mountain biking on purpose-built tracks or hiking through ancient rainforests running with native wildlife.
Built on dreams, and shaped by culture. Whether it’s in the air, water, land, indigenous, galleries, museums, or historical locations see what the Gold Coast has to offer!
Hunt around craft-filled boutiques in coastal villages, blow the budget at behemoth shopping centres, or grab that weird thing you never knew you needed at the beachfront markets.
LWC24 acknowledge the original inhabitants of this area, including the Yugambeh people and family groups within, and recognise their connection to the land, waters and resources in the area now known as the Gold Coast. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
