The crown jewel of any Gold Coast holiday are the beautiful stretches of coastline! To get there, all you'll have to worry about is throwing the towels, hats, sunscreen, and water in a bag and heading across the road to the patrolled surf beach for hours of fun in the sun! Make sure you pick a section of the golden sand and aqua blue waves that are between the red and yellow flags so your family can be carefully watched by well-trained lifeguards. If you're visiting in winter, don't be shy to visit the beach! Even amidst the cooler months the beaches are pleasant and often warm enough for swimming as well as beach cricket, soccer, volley ball, and of course, just general relaxing while the kids have a blast!
