Do you want to relax, get in touch with nature and the sea or get the most fun and party out of Gold Coast? For relax and get in touch with nature, the best place is Coolangatta to settle for a couple of days, and go up on the Coast (but stop before getting to Surfers Paradise). To have the best fun and parties, Surfers is the place, full of great nightlife, a lot of theme parks and activities. The athmosphere in hostels are great anywhere in the entire Gold Coast. Have fun!

you have to do o'reillys national park its about an hour inland but well worth it, you also have to do the theme parks and surfers paradise naturally
