Your Gold Coast Family Holiday
The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s most popular destinations, offering exciting kid-friendly activities and natural attractions to keep you entertained on a Gold Coast family holiday. Along its spectacular shoreline, you will find white sand and crystal-clear ocean waters to rival anywhere on Earth. Relax in a deckchair outside your hotel while you watch the kids take surfing lessons, or venture out to find your own stretch of coastline from among the 70 km of beach surrounding the city. Snorkel on one of several nearby coral reefs, or go fishing on a chartered boat. Picture yourself strolling through the lapping waves of Surfers Paradise or swimming at Mermaid Beach, before watching the sun go down over a meal at your luxurious resort. However you choose to spend your time, the beaches of the Gold Coast are sure to provide a stunning backdrop to your family fun.
While the beaches are definitely the major drawcard, there is a lot more to keep you entertained on a Gold Coast family holiday. The city is also home to thrilling theme parks, exciting wildlife sanctuaries and informative museums. Children will love meeting koalas and meerkats, or learning about the region’s Aboriginal history. Together, you can wander through the ancient rainforests in the hinterland, or go mountain biking in the hills. At the right time of year you can even watch humpback whales playing in the sea. Expedia makes finding family beach holidays, weekend getaways or all-inclusive resort packages at the Gold Coast easy. With one of our Gold Coast travel packages you can be sipping cocktails by the sands of Broadbeach in no time!
