8 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.

Bring the kids along to Sea World Theme Park and Surfer's Paradise Beach. Change things up with a short trip to Cape Byron Lighthouse in Byron Bay (about 1h 30 min away). And it doesn't end there: find something for the whole family at Warner Bros. Movie World, explore the wealth of natural beauty at Burleigh Head National Park, cool off at The Rockpools, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Burleigh Heads Beach.
