Don't miss the best of the Gold Coast by rc0099

So many people come to the Gold Coast and follow the same well trodden path being Surfers Paradise, shopping, theme parks etc. And then some report back to say ‘oh, that place is so touristy’, ’it’s a glitter strip’ and so on.

They are right, but sadly they missed the best that the city offers just because they don’t know what the locals do.

One of my favorite places is Burleigh Heads (see pic: http://www.goldcoastinfo.net/aboutgc/suburbs/burleigh/) which has a beautiful sandy beach, public park with bbqs and amazing views especially at dusk.

Another favorite was Springbrook National Park, particulalrly the many waterfalls and outlooks.

Next favorite spot was Snapper Rocks at Coolangatta (more pics: http://www.goldcoastinfo.net/aboutgc/suburbs/coolangatta/) which is popular spot for surfing plus just amazing coastal views.

Next favorite was fishing in the many canals. Theres lots of public parks where you can get access to the waterways and have a relaxed day fishing.

Thats just a few!

What a beautiful week! by Sam

I spent a whole week here, relaxing on the beach and exploring the streets. I stayed in an apartment where i could walk to everything i needed. It was cool to be right on the state line so I could walk across the border of NSW and Queensland. Each morning I would take my laptop to the Internet Cafe, order my usual internet connection and strawberry smoothie, then do my online business for about an hour. Then I hit the beach for the rest of the day. The apartments were wonderful. Just overall a magnificent experience!

I could easily live on the Gold Coast! by samtesta

I could easily live on the Gold Coast!!! It was great. Laid back like Perth, but with all of Perth’s night spots compressed into one area, and they are actually some good clubs.
