Although the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia is often associated with sandy beaches and rolling surf, it offers so much more than that. From eclectic hipster spaces with its art galleries, farmers and artisan markets, street galleries and craft distilleries, to theme parks, jet boat rides and ferry excursions, the place offers so many options for tourists.

Getting around in Gold Coast is convenient and easy. Get on the G-link light rail if you want to go somewhere fast (tourists can use the Go Explore card).
