From the high-rises of Surfers Paradise to the easy-going vibes of Palm Beach, the Gold Coast is one of Queensland’s most desirable destinations. It’s home to irresistible beaches, premium shopping spots, and an incredible line-up of entertainment and tourism attractions. But look beyond the glitz and glam of the coastal strip and you’ll find down-to-earth neighbourhoods that seem to have it all – waterfront abodes, well-regarded schools, pristine waterways and lush parklands. The best part is, the hinterland and beaches are always within easy reach.
