really missed my Pre COVID trip to Gold Coast. I am staying at the Rhapsody Resort , Surfers Paradise. The location of the resort was good. Easy access to shopping mall and eateries. The weather and temperature were just right during summer. Yummy food and #summervacation my apartment was next to the coast. Every morning and evening can enjoy the cool sea breeze. A short drive to both the theme parks too.

Movie World half day for all the rides. Tickets booked via klook, we took the bus from the city centre to come here, very easy just buy the day tourist ticket covers all transportion in gold Coast. Queue always long, but download the app so you can virtual queue them. Have fun with the roller coasters 🎡🎠🎢 #celebratewithtrip ##

trying to get rid of summer — Gold Coast is the best choice! 🫶🏻 perfect weather with blue sky, sea and beach 🤍 Missed the amazing sunset there 😭 many activities to do: zoo, theme parks, boat trip, beach😍 Just visit here! enjoy the best place in the world. #summervacation #awesomepic #australia #goldcoast

Tourists in Australia's Gold Coast know that it's impossible not to go 😄 You can often see a lot of finches in the afternoon Tourists will take pictures with them and feed them At dusk, the beach reflects the beautiful sunset I really want to stay here forever The only thing is that there is nothing delicious 😂 We also dug up a clam! ! 😍

My trip were for some medical appointments and it’s good, I had good time but my expectations about Crown plaza was not much. I want to check in early and the lady was girl and asked us to upgrade for $60 and this price if I booked through trip will be include breakfast but the lady said no. The room for the upgrade not that waooo and was not very high level like we asked her. The hotel location not what I accepted from search. I thought it’s in the heart of surface paradise and just I can walk little bit to be in the surface but u need tram if u can’t walk. I had breakfast at Marriott hotel at citriqu and as usual wonderful breakfast it’s $49 but worth if I compare if u pay $39 and the buffet not good. Shiraz restaurant the same is good and plenty of food if u like mediterranean food but prices is little high but good to try, I recommend.

#awesomepic For all the times that you rained on my parade And all the clubs you get in using my name You think you broke my heart, oh, girl, for goodness' sake You think I'm crying on my own, well, I ain't And I didn't wanna write a song 'Cause I didn't want anyone thinkin' I still care, I don't, but You still hit my phone up And baby, I'll be movin' on And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back Maybe you should know that My mama don't like you and she likes everyone And I never like to admit that I was wrong And I've been so caught up in my job Didn't see what's going on, but now I know I'm better sleeping on my own 'Cause if you like the way you look that much

Went to Gold Coast for a short for 3 days 2 nights trip. Gold Coast was famous with the clean and sandy beaches. Spent some quality time picnic at Surfers Paradise. Booked our accommodation through Airbnb. It was a nice and cosy two bedroom apartment. Getting warmer in the middle of October but it’s still worth to have some relax. Highly recommended to visit in low peak season.

Once upon a time at Gold coast

At the strong recommendation of a friend who can fly, I participated in a fighter jet flight show held on the Gold Coast. For the first time, what I saw on the beach was not sand, but a lot of people! The performance lasted from morning to afternoon, and I was almost dried out...but the superb performance was so shocking! Well worth it 👍

Absolutely love Gold Coast! Overall, really great beaches, sunsets, friend folks, good bakery and gelato cafes and the best coffee all around! More recommended time to go would be in June where is isn’t too cold neither warm. Surfers paradise indeed. Can’t wait for my next visit! #australia #goldcoast #travel

#freehotelstay super pretty such a lovely hike, less than one hour of hiking so easy. there’s a cave and if you go at night there’s lot of pretty glow worms! not scary very easy. toilets at the start to. maybe less than an hour drive from central Gold Coast. #awesomepic #summervacation #2023travelwish #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #passionpassport #urbanexplorer #walk

Go to Southport beach for a picnic it’s so beautiful! Beautiful colours and stays bright till 6ish. So nice! The water is cold in winter but in summer you can swim. Just bring a picnic blanket and your favourite food and it’s so lovely and nice. The sand is so soft and nice. Not very crowded either which is reallly lovely and different to other beaches. Definitely visit.

Truly a gem in the Down Under. Beautiful beaches, great nature parks and fantastic shopping experience. There’s always a good bargain sale in the Pacific Fair mall. You can also head down to one of the outlet stores where you can shop/window shop until you drop.

Aussie ocean is the best!
