2024 Gold Coast Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Trip to Gold Coast 🇦🇺

It was a trip to Gold Coast, Australia. Just to share some of my favourite places during the trip. My most favorite place is definitely the Surfers Paradise Beach 🏖️ Surfers Paradise has been a major tourist destination since the 1920s, growing into a vibrant suburb known for its nightlife and shopping. The beach itself is famous for its golden sands and consistent surf breaks. The view was amazing especially during the evening 🌇 📍Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast QLD 4217. We also explored the Burleigh Head National Park. This park is an ancient volcanic headland, offering stunning views and rich indigenous history. The area is also known for its surf breaks and the surrounding nature trails. Is you have spare time, this park definitely somewhere that you wouldn’t want to miss 🥰 📍 Goodwin Terrace, Burleigh Heads QLD 4220. We also visited the Q1 SkyPoint Observation Deck. The Q1 building, completed in 2005, was once the tallest residential tower in the world. The observation deck on the 77th floor provides breathtaking 360-degree views of the Gold Coast. The view was stunning! My friends and I love it so much and this is definitely one of our favorite places in Gold Coast. 📍9 Hamilton Ave, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217. We also went to Sea World which was opened in 1971. Sea World is a marine mammal park and oceanarium, offering educational shows and exhibits. It’s one of the oldest and most popular attractions on the Gold Coast. If you’re traveling with kids, they gonna love this place so much. 📍 Seaworld Dr, Main Beach QLD 4217. We also walked around the Lamington National Park. it was Established in 1915, this UNESCO World Heritage-listed park is home to ancient rainforests, diverse wildlife, and scenic hiking trails. The park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. We spent some times to walk around the park, the air was very fresh and we really enjoy our morning walking around park 💯💯💯 📍 Binna Burra QLD 4211. Aside from all the places, I would also recommend you to try Social Eating House + Bar. They served modern Australian with a focus on shared plates. We tried out their signature Broadbeach QLD 4218. Slow-roasted lamb shoulder and their signature tapas plates which was very delicious 🙌 💰 AUD 50-120 per person, depending on your choice of dishes and drinks. #australiatrip #vacation #trip

🇦🇺 European beauty in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia

Emerald Lakes Village boasts the beautiful scenery of the calm lake, surrounded by multiple European inspired establishments such as restaurants, cafes, villas, and apartments that are photoworthy. This place made us feel like we travelled somewhere in Europe.🏞🌍 Although the weather wasn't that great, we were able to take beautiful photos and enjoy the walk around the place. The only issue is that some part of the bridge is covered with bird droppings. Nevertheless, It is very quiet and peaceful here. 💕 This place is approximately a 25-minute drive from Marina Mirage. #localguides #familytrip #goldcoast #australia #queensland

Bumbles Cafe, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast)

This quaint little cafe nestled in the middle of a residential neighbourhood was the perfect place to have a quiet lunch. Although it took a bit of walking to get to (under the scorching afternoon sun, no less), we were rewarded with a nice view of the river that ran parallel to the road the cafe was on! I really liked the ambience of the cafe, despite the largely white-coloured interior and the seemingly haphazard way they arranged the photos and frames on the walls. The cafe exuded a familiar, inviting, homey vibe, pretty much like walking into a friend’s house that you’ve been to for the hundredth time. The staff were pleasant too and were welcoming in their demeanour (: The food was quite decent! It was yummy and reasonably priced, plus the service was good. Other than the slight inaccessibility of the cafe by public transport, I remember my experience here to be a comforting and relaxing one, like chicken noodle soup on a cold day. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tripmoments #cafe #australiancuisine #surfersparadise #goldcoast #australia

Rhapsody Resort, Surfers Paradise Gold Coast

Our Ocean View Apartment was located on a staggeringly high floor with an insanely spectacular view! The room was a good size and generally clean, although one could see the wear and tear in various parts of the space. I didn’t fancy the fact that certain items and areas looked heavily used, but that’s just me nitpicking. Washing machine and dryer were available too. Some reviewers mentioned difficulty sleeping due to the whistling sounds made by the strong winds. I heard these sounds ocassionally when the windows weren’t closed tightly enough and while waiting in the lift lobby, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, probably because our window seals were fine and our room was located further away from the lifts. The highlight of this experience was, without a doubt, the breath-taking ocean view (: Coupled with a nicely furnished room and warm greetings of “hi, how are you?” and “have a good day!” from the staff, this place was really something special. My gut tells me I can’t give this a full 5-star rating because some areas in the room could still use more tender-loving care (eg. water stains on windows, dirt and dust in crevices, worn carpets) but in all fairness, I must say that the experience here was one I could genuinely get used to, so much so that I was really reluctant to pack up and leave! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tripmoments #resort #surfersparadise #goldcoast #australia

Goldcoast Helitours 🇦🇺

Goldcoast Helitours located at Marina Cove, Goldcoast, Australia. An aerial view of Goldcoast. Operate by professional pilot. The pilot is quite informative explaining the area. Great experience. Staff were friendly. Brief all the safety guidelines. We took flight time 15 mins for SGD$99. There’s option to choose: 10 mins for marina cove and seaworld area, 15 mins for marina cove + seaworld area and surfer paradise, 20 mins for entire goldcoast area (lol, the 15 mins seems like the entire Goldcoast to me, not sure of the 20 mins.) Hint: Take picture or video as many as possible!!! #helitours #goldcoast #australia #helicopter

Hilton Surfers Paradise in Gold Coast . Breathtaking views with good and affordable room service menu, very convenient location where u can walk to everything.

#awesomepic 🏄🏼‍♂️ The Gold Coast is made up of dozens of large and small beaches, of which Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Main Beach are the three most famous beaches. In fact, the three major beaches are connected together and the beach scenery is exactly the same, the difference is the corresponding coastal city scenery and facilities. Surfers Paradise, known as Miami in the Southern Hemisphere, is a major gathering place for tourists. There are many food shopping streets, malls, DFS, bars, etc. on the beach. Leisure and entertainment usually last until midnight, and it is also a pilgrimage site for surfers around the world. . In comparison, Broad Beach and Main Beach are quieter, and the wide sandy beaches are perfect for spreading and sunbathing. #awesomepic

If you love roller coaster rides definitely visit here! The rides are amazing and even just wandering around the sets provide a cool atmosphere. As with most theme parks be prepared for lines and waits and it is definitely worth paying a little extra for a free refill drink! #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

warner bros is one of few theme parks where they make an effort to make the audience, specially children enjoy and enagage. superman, cat women and other warner heros are wandering around for pictures. great place for a family getaway

Gold Coast Hot Air Balloon Tour: When it comes to hot air balloons, maybe everyone will think of Cappadocia in Turkey. In fact, there are also hot air balloons in Australia to experience, especially on the Gold Coast, how can you miss the romantic hot air balloon trip? 4:00 in the morning, the hot air balloon company will pick us up at the hotel on the Gold Coast. It is said that if the weather is normal, the hot air balloon will take off near the city and enjoy the coastline and city scenery of the Gold Coast. However, this time we took an hour's drive to take off inland, so we only enjoyed the inland landscape. 1 hour flight, in fact, the time is still quite long, very lucky to see the sunrise on the hot air balloon. When it is floating in the sky, it is very quiet and stable. At this time, we will feel that the world is so beautiful. After the flight, there is a hot air balloon flight certificate and celebration champagne to commemorate this unforgettable experience. tips: Hot air balloon flight price: 880/person (excluding breakfast) departure: Gold Coast Time: Morning 4

The Gold Coast Whale Watching Tour May-November is the best season for whale watching in Australia. Thousands of whales migrated along the coastline, from Antarctica to the north to the warm waters of the Australian coast to breed offspring, and return to Antarctic waters in the spring of next year. The Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, is one of Australia's best whale watching locations. I am a half-day tour on Trip, every day from 7 in the morning.

Queensland Travel - Gold Coast Surfers Paradise Beach, as its name suggests, is a paradise for all surfers on the Gold Coast. It is a must-have experience of surfing the Gold Coast. I have been studying for a coach for more than 2 hours in the local area. I remember the coach said this sentence.

Queensland Travel - The Gold Coast Q1 Tower is one of Queensland's most iconic high-rises and one of the best viewing spots on the Gold Coast's infinity coastline. I remember that my friends here have always told me to go up and see that it is up to Q1 to see the essence of the Gold Coast. Sure enough, when I got to the 77th floor, I was shocked by the coastline, and I couldnt see the end at all. I went up at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I stayed at the Sky bar for more than 2 hours. It was great to see the sunset and the night scene. In addition, the price of the sky bar was very close to the people, and I ordered a drink or beer. It is the best vacation on the Gold Coast.

Australians who love surfing, take this as the ideal playground and arena, called "Surfer Paradise." (Surfers Paradise) Every morning at 6 o'clock, the sun just rises from the ocean, the sun shrouds the beach, you can see the young men and women come to Surfers Paradise, start fighting, rushing in the waves, show their own Majestic. In Surfers Paradise, surf competitions and exhibitions are often held, attracting countless visitors.

On the 15th, when the plane arrived at the Gold Coast Airport, it overlooked the magnificent coastline. Unfortunately, the weather was not good, and the US and China were slightly inadequate. So today, I made a special helicopter. The beauty of the Gold Coast is unforgettable. I really want to be rich. People, and then pension here, no wonder so many rich people come to Australia to immigrate. Helicopter tour is very recommended, although expensive, but the scenery is superb, but also expensive within the acceptable range, according to the flight range price is also different, 79 knife 5 minutes, 99 knife 10 minutes, 149 knife 15 minutes The ring range is getting bigger and bigger, the most expensive is 299 knives, and the individual thinks that 99 knives are the most suitable. Ten minutes is enough to appreciate their beauty from the sky. Sit helicopter is very loud, need to bring headphones, generally can sit 6 people, it is best to grab the front row position, or the rear two sides, the viewing angle is good.

spring vibes in the GC. #sunshine #water #peacful #scenery #Goldcoast
