Surfer’s Paradise, Gold Coast

Australia’s Gold Coast is a major destination for holiday makers. With a long beautiful stretch of sand at its feet, the Gold Coast towers above in the form of huge hotels and apartments buildings reminicent of the Florida or Spanish coastlines.

It’s a mecca for surfers and swimmers as there are good waves and no seasonal restrictions on swimming like in Northern Queensland. In season the Gold Coast is jam packed, and places to stay are more pricey. In the off season you can get good deals for ocean view places right on the beach.
