Gold Coast Beaches
Surfer's Paradise, Australia

On Australian beaches you can be sure someone will always be watching!

Yes, it's a toddler's paradise too.

Surfer's Paradise central pedestrian area.

A little know fact, by casual tourists anyway, is that behind the Gold Coast lurk mountains, gorges, waterfalls and subtropical rainforest including 160km [100 mls] of hiking tracks and 15m high tree-top walks, award-winning wineries and a gourmet food and wine trail, but hey, who cares when there's glam 'n' glitz overload by the beach.
The Gold Coast generally is not a bad year-round destination though Surfer's Paradise becomes very noisy, pricey and overcrowded during the Christmas holiday December - January, and IndyCar race days in October when Surfer's is turned into a road-racetrack.
