All about Gold Coast
When to visit
Clocking up more than 300 days of sunshine each year, the Gold Coast is an excellent beach destination year-round. Avoid the peak summer months of December through February if you don’t like crowds, as well as “Schoolies week” at the end of November when students hijack the local nightlife scene. Instead, time your visit for spring or fall when the weather is ideal for water sports, Hinterland hikes, and coastal sightseeing, or come between June and October for the whale watching season.
Getting around
The Gold Coast’s towns are well-connected by public transport, with regular G:link trams running between Main Beach, Surfers Paradise, and Broadbeach. Trains also connect to Brisbane Airport, but to reach the Southern Gold Coast or the Hinterland, you’ll need to take a bus. Download the TransLink app to plan your trip, or make the most of the fresh air and walk or bike along the 22-mile (36-kilometer) Gold Coast Oceanway promenade instead.
Traveler tips
The Gold Coast doesn’t only have ocean beaches—join locals along Currumbin Creek to fish, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard, then cool off at the Cougal Cascades swimming hole.
