Beaches

The Gold Coast beaches are regarded as the gemstones in the crown of Gold Coast attractions, and are one of the major attractions for tourists. Approximately 42kms of immaculate scenic beaches border the picturesque ocean. Beautiful fresh white and golden sands, puffed up ocean for surfers, quiet bays and estuaries for the less exploratory tourists and life savers to keep an eye on swimmers and surfers, ensure the Gold Coast beaches are renowned the world over.

A major activity on the Gold Coast for both old and young is surfing. Tourists who are serious surfers can choose any one of the four best surfing destinations including Duranbah, Burleigh Point, South Stradbroke and Kirra. These beaches provide surfers with top surfing conditions. The City Council at the Gold Coast is distinguished for its beach safety programs and guarding the beaches more efficiently.
