Coolangatta is a small suburb at the southern end of the Gold Coast. Spectacular beaches, clean streets, relaxed, feel, freindly people and pretty easy to get around. It’s where many of the surfing comps are held it’s also where the Gold Coast airport is located. But the best feature is definately the beaches.

South Golden Beach is a small community in northern New South wales. It is about an hour from the Gold Coast of Queensland just before Byron Bay. On most days the beach is almost deserted apart from the casual jogger or the local out for their daily beach walk.

The photo shows a view from the beach towards Cape Byron and its lighthouse.

The lighthouse at Byron Bay is a must visit for those coming to the Gold Coast of Queensland or the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. The lighthouse itself is something to see but the view and it’s spectacular location is a wonder.

It is also Australia’s most easterly point. There a wonderful walking tracks and it is a photographers dream, with beaches, ocean views, mountain views, whale watching and more and more. Hang gliders often take off from the same ridge and are fun to watch, probably even more fun if youre in it! More Photos of the Tweed Coast to Byron Bay

Circle on Cavill – Surfers Paradise

In the heart of Surfers Paradise is the recently built Circle on Cavill building. It features ultra modern apartments for permanent residents and holiday accommodation. At street level it features a modern shopping precinct with large courtyard featuring a water feature and an impressive video wall/screen.

The photo was taken from Chevron Island looking across the Nerang River, a larger version of the photo can be found http://www.goldcoastinfo.net/photos/v/night-views/surfers-paradise-central-on.jpg.html

The combination of dark tinted glass on the apartments and the central strip of blue lighting was well thought out, looks impressive and makes the other buildings look very dated.

Duranbah Beach

The photo looks down from Point Danger on to Duranbah Beach where there is a great park and the beautiful beach. Duranbah is hugely popular with surfers and you’ll often see 50+ people on their boards going for it. For info on the surf conditions check out coastalwatch.

Rainbow Bay is just beside Greenmount which is just beside Coolangatta which is just beside the Queensland Border which just makes it part of the Gold Coast! Popular spot, great clean sandy beach with beautiful surrounds.

Coolangatta Beach – Just Perfect

While everyone shuffles to find a spot on the beach at Surfers Paradise there are some people probably laying back, having a little chuckle, and they’re the people at lazing back on the beaches at Coolangatta!

Perhaps some people just don’t know that there is a place of perfect beaches, relaxed atmosphere, little traffic, famous surf and scenic foreshore just a couple minutes south of Gold Coast Airport. They also miss out on local pricing, that’s right, there’s no tourist tax!

There are some downsides though, one being a little more traveling time if theme parks make up a large part of your holiday and some may find the range of nightlife a little lacking compared to Surfers, but for some that’s just the way they like it!

What is it about Burleigh Heads that makes it so beautiful? Is it the scenic views? The The lack of over development and well managed green spaces/parks? The simple and natural combination of colors that please the eye? The relaxed atmosphere and fresh air? The climate? No idea, but I like it!

Gold Coast: The Holiday Accommodation Capital

rexonagccr — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 07:41:12 +0000

This photo shows the coastline running from the southern end of Surfers Paradise and at the start of Broadbeach through to Coolangatta. The coastal strip is packed with mainly tourist accommodation apartments which came about from the real estate speculation of the 80′s and 90′s, with the crash of the property market many of these hi-rise developments were purchased for holiday apartments now offering visitors great amenities and some of the best beachfront locations.

There is quite a lot of apartment accommodation on the coast and if your looking for a great deal the best time visit is in off peak seasons especially outside school holiday periods. Here’s a list of Budget Gold Coast Accommodation and here you can find School Holiday and term dates for all Australian states.

What’s easy to see from the photo is why it such a popular destination for a holiday – prime location for holiday apartments, clean and almost endless beach with plenty of space for everyone and it’s not over congested..yet!
