The ideal year round climate makes our Gold Coast one of the most enjoyable places to live in the world. Uniquely located along some of the finest beaches, and surrounded by heritage listed rainforests and mountains, we really do live in a spectacular paradise.
The list of activities is close to endless, providing something for everyone’s taste and budget. Ranging from exciting adventure attractions to relaxing spas and retreats, you are certainly never without something to do, living in this exciting place.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to discover the magnificent National Parks yet, make sure you visit Burleigh Headland, Tamborine, Springbrook and Lamington. These parks provide scenic picnic areas, nature walks and superb lookouts that span across the hinterland, city and ocean. If you are looking for a bit of a thrill, there are plenty of exhilarating activities to choose from. The year round sun makes it the perfect weather to get on the water, whether it be jet skiing, surfing, snorkelling or on a fishing charter.
Our city is famous for the many different RSL and Surf Clubs that line the coast. Find out your local club, and check out the fantastic meal specials on offer, along with the friendly atmosphere and community activities.
If you’re of the golfing variety, you’ll be well aware that our city is home to over 20 of Australia's leading golf resorts with stunning backdrops and beautifully manicured greens. If you’re not the golfing sort, now’s the perfect time to learn!
To keep the whole family entertained, why not deck yourselves out in the Coast colours and head along to a local sporting venue. Enjoy a day out watching The Titans in the NRL, the Blaze in the NBL, and soon enough, the exciting new Gold Coast AFL team.
If you prefer delicious food to football, there is an abundance of magnificent seafood wharfs you can select your own assortment, and have it cooked up there, so you can bask in the sun and eat until your heart (or tummy) is content.
No matter how long you have lived on the Gold Coast, seeing it from up in the air will give you a completely new perspective. The views from a hot air balloon of the coast are simply stunning, and floating soundlessly in the sky is one of those rare experiences that everyone should try at least once.
Our city really is a place that offers something for everyone, no matter what your interests.
