The Gold Coast has always been one of Australia's favourite playgrounds. It's lure attracts all ages. There is something to do here for everyone. And I suppose the 70 kilometres of coastline from South Stradbroke Island in the North to beautiful Rainbow Bay in the South has something to do with this. The Gold Coast is Queensland's most southern city- if we may call it a city. It is one of the best spots in Australia to enjoy a romantic weekend away or an action packed, family holiday and there is plenty of Gold Coast accommodation to go around. The climate of the Gold Coast has a lot to do with its popularity. A sub tropical climate enables plenty of sunshine all year round. In fact, on avarage, 300 days! Don't bother packing your woollen underwear here. The Gold Coast is a popular spot for families with numerous safe and patrolled swimming beachs and the Gold Coast is also a major centre for nightlife with night clubs and adult bars providing entertainment until the early hours of the morning. You will be spending your days on beautiful beaches, relaxing in seaside cafes and restaurants, shopping - of course - shopping or perhaps you might be inclined to travel into the Gold Coast hinterland to experience some sub tropical rainforests and sensational mountain and ocean views close by the coast. Due to the balmy weather your nights may very well be spent in a similar fashion to your days. Although adults may perhaps enjoy a tipple by the pool.
