11 days in Gold Coast Itinerary

A city of towering skyscrapers, sandy beaches, and tree-lined streets, Gold Coast has an unpretentious air complemented by a citywide focus on sports and the arts.

Step out of the city life by going to Burleigh Head National Park and Burleigh Heads Beach. Your itinerary includes some good beach time at Surfer's Paradise Beach and Kirra Beach. Get out of town with these interesting Gold Coast side-trips: Tropical Fruit World (in Duranbah), Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre (in Murwillumbah) and Fingal Head Lighthouse (in Fingal Head). Spend the 15th (Sun) exploring nature at Nerang National Park. The adventure continues: enjoy the sea views from Cape Byron Lighthouse, kick back and relax at Coolangatta Beach, try out the rides at Sea World Theme Park, and get in on the family fun at Warner Bros. Movie World.
