Find out What’s On!

Whether you’re looking for action and adventure or a peaceful place to unwind, the southern Gold Coast will be everything you are looking for in a holiday!

Lined with Norfolk Pines, turquoise waters and white sand is home to some of the Gold Coast’s best beaches. Enjoy a day at one of our glorious patrolled beaches – Coolangatta, Rainbow Bay, Palm Beach, Currumbin, Tugun or Bilinga!

Or head to Kirra Point, Snapper Rocks or Greenmount for world class surfing. There’s plenty of whale watching opportunities from the heights of Kirra Point lookout or Point Danger, or pack a picnic and enjoy the spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

From here you can look back to see the entire coastline up to Surfer’s Paradise and know that you have really slowed down. That doesn’t mean it’s boring! The southern Gold Coast has an array of shopping, cafes, restaurants, entertainment options and plenty of activities and attractions to keep the kids busy.

Getting around is easy with a hire car, regular buses, or catch an uber or taxi. Theme parks are within 40 minutes’ drive and the glitz and glamour of Surfer’s Paradise is only half an hour from Coolangatta.

All beaches are within easy access of the Gold Coast International Airport and Coolangatta shares the border with NSW, your gateway to Byron Bay, Cabarita and Kingscliff beaches or Mt Warning – great for day tripping!
