Exploring the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast boasts attractions for every traveller, from sun-kissed beaches to adrenaline-pumping theme parks and chic waterfront dining digs. We’ve rounded down the highlights so you can make the most of your Gold Coast hire car holiday.

Surfers Paradise Beach

The city’s most legendary surf spot sits surrounded by shimmering skyscrapers and trendy cafes. If you’re not here to hang ten, you’ll find bountiful shopping and entertainment venues nearby.

Broadbeach

South of surfers lies Broadbeach, a laid-back little sister suburb with a relaxed atmosphere and a vibrant dining scene. As you head further down the coast, glitzy resorts give way to chic boutiques in hip urban enclaves like Mermaid and Miami Beach.

SkyPoint Climb & Observation Deck

Short of hiring a helicopter, you’ll find the best Gold Coast views on the 280-metre-high SkyPoint Observation Deck. Rock up at sunset to see the day’s last rays fade away and the skyline transform into a galaxy of twinkling lights. Adventurous types should tackle the vertigo-inducing SkyPoint Climb instead.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Animal lovers would be mad to miss a visit to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Australia’s most prestigious cuddly creature refuge. VIP experiences span croc-feeding shows, koala patting sessions, and Tassie devil encounters.

Burleigh Heads & Tallebudgera Creek

Jutting out of the Pacific, Burleigh Head National Park is a lush rainforest-shrouded peninsula home to meandering trails and sparkling shorelines. The aquamarine Tallebudgera Creek flows by one side, providing an idyllic setting to swim, SUP, or sunbathe on a squeaky white sand beach.

Pacific Fair Shopping Centre

Shopping is a quintessential part of any Gold Coast beach holiday. And nowhere in the city offers the mind-boggling variety of the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre. A stone’s throw from Broadbeach, this glamorous classic hosts everything from chic boutiques to brand-name department stores.

Warner Bros, Movieworld

Parents will be pressured into visiting at least one of the Gold Coast’s fun-filled theme parks. Chock full of Hollywood-inspired rides and theatrical stunt shows, Movieworld is a must for any little film buff.

Dreamworld

If the silver screen isn’t your thing, treat the little ones to a fun day at Dreamworld instead. This massive, long-standing theme park features adrenaline-pumping rides, a wildlife park, and stacks of kid-friendly exhibits.

SeaWorld

Rather see your offspring learn about the oceanographic world? Bring them along to SeaWorld instead. The Gold Coast branch of this popular global chain hosts polar bears, penguins, dolphins and other curious marine critters, plus plenty of rides and slides.

Wet’n’Wild

Speaking of slides, no Gold Coast theme park offers non-stop slippery thrills like Wet ‘n’ Wild. This well-known local waterpark has an impressive selection of aqua-lubricated rides, many of which descend from terrifying heights.

Exploring Outside The Gold Coast with a Rental Car

More into natural attractions than man-made malls and theme parks? Then hop into your Bargain Car Rentals vehicle and explore the spectacular surrounding region.

Tamborine Mountain

A classic day-trip destination, Tamborine Mountain is a thickly forested region home to world-class vineyards and cascading falls.

Lamington National Parks

This nearby national park is a favourite among Gold Coast locals seeking to stretch their legs on spectacular hiking trails.

Springbrook National Park

Not far from Lamington, this stunning national park hosts one of South East Queensland’s most spectacular sites, the awe-inspiring Natural Bridge.

The Tweed Coast

Heading south leads you towards a string of picturesque Tweed Coast towns. Kingscliff, Casuarina, and Cabarita Beach are the go-to holiday favourites.

Murwillumbah

Arty types should pop into Murwillumbah, a vibrant creative enclave deep in the Tweed Hinterlands. Top artistic hotspots include the M|Arts Precinct and the Tweed Regional Gallery.

Wollumbin National Park

While the lofty summit of Mount Wollumbin (Mt Warning) is now off-limits, travellers can admire the majestic ancient volcano from its base.

Border Ranges National Park

Straddling the border of Queensland and NSW, this far-flung national park receives relatively few visitors. But we’re not quite sure why, as the drive up there is nothing short of spectacular.

Nightcap National Park

Mystical rainforests and misty cascades comprise this atmospheric national park. Don’t miss the surreal Protestors Falls, which passionate activists saved from logging in the 70s.

Byron Bay

A two-hour drive south gets you to Australia’s most celebrated beach town. Once a carefree hippy haven, Byron has transformed into a trendy cosmopolitan hangout for well-heeled socialites.

Brunswick Heads

Brunswick Heads is a laidback alternative to the always ram-packed Byron Bay. Wrapped around a pretty inlet, this easy-going coastal town is easy on the eye.
