Australian
Gold Coast offers more than just the Surfers Paradise by Pete

Coast Self-catering / Hotels on the Gold
Coast
There is no puzzle as to
why Surfers Paradise, which is part of the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia
is such a popular holiday destination. After all, it is the entertainment
and glam capital of the island that is ‘Down Under’, and epitomizes that
perfect marriage of city and beach lifestyle.
But it’s the eclecticism
of Surfers (as it is affectionately referred to in Australian vernacular)
that attracts people from all walks of life. There are activities and events
to cater and appease everyone, from families to backpackers, schoolies
(young adults who have just finished high school), singles, surfers, honeymooners
and retirees. It is home to a host of theme parks and national parks including,
Dreamworld, Wet’n’Wild Water World, Warner Bros Movie World, Adrenalin
Park, the Australian Outback Spectacular and Fleays Wildlife Park. There
are about 53 different tours to choose from, ranging from whale watching
to scenic hinterland day tours.

Accommodation options are
plentiful, ranging from youth hostels to 5-star hotels. Since there’s so
much to do within a limited amount of time, choosing the right location
will help. For example, the A1 Crown Towers is located right in the heart
of Surfers Paradise and within walking distance to the city center and
beaches.
Like most tourist destinations,
Surfers Paradise offers a vibrant and varied nightlife that caters to all
crowds. To start, Melba’s Restaurant and Nightclub is a great place to
dine and dance, with a clientele of all ages. The Rose & Crown, Cocktails
& Dreams and The Drink are recommended places for people who love to
dance, and for those who prefer to lounge out and chit-chat with a cocktail
in hand, My Bar is just that type of place.
