9 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Gold Coast: Good Vibes Pilates (in Tweed Heads), A2submarine Replica (in Kallangur) and Brisbane (The Brisbane River, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, &more). There's much more to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Surfers Paradise Beach, get in on the family fun at Warner Bros. Movie World, take in panoramic vistas at SkyPoint Observation Deck, and try out the rides at Sea World Theme Park.
