Stretching along 40 km of gorgeous coastline in Queensland, the Gold Coast is the place to come if you enjoy a bit of development to go along with your sand and surf. Shopping malls, golf courses, and theme parks such as Dreamworld, Warner Bros. Movie World and Sea World will keep you and your family entertained as soon as you step off the beach. Thrill seekers can partake of parasailing, sky diving, hot-air ballooning, and jet skiing, while the wild at heart can ride the elevator up to the observation deck at Q1, the world's tallest residential building, for vertiginous views up and down the coastline. As for nightlife, the spectrum ranges from the hopping clubs on Cahill Avenue in Surfers Paradise to the Las Vegas-style casino and theatres along Broadbeach.
But in the end, the pristine white sand, clear blue water and bountiful waves eclipse all the man-made attractions. So book your hotel now and hit the beach!
