It is just beautiful! It is the picture post card of the Gold Coast and just a 5 minute drive away with free parking. Life guarded in the summer months and lots of cafes backing onto it to relax in afterwards.

If you are heading to the south of the coast you can't go past Coolangatta beach. Just as beautiful as Burleigh with its own headland.

Entertainment & Activities
Part of the theme park group with Wet and Wild and SeaWorld. Would recommend a multipass into all 3. If you are tight for time you can do Wet and Wild and Movie World in one day if you get there early.

So this is a little bit cheesy, and for Australians probably not so valid! But if you are coming from overseas this is a pretty fun Australian experience, and the food is yummy!

HOYTS Tweed

Definitely something worth a try while you are on the Gold Coast. These guys are really friendly and helpful. Would recommend going early in the day (they are open 7-5) before the wind gets up and it becomes very hard work!
