Gold Coast, Australia
Australia's most famous beach destination has grown far beyond its surf-and-sand reputation. The Oceanway, a coastal walking path, connects the main beaches from Coolangatta to Main Beach, with surfers, swimmers, and whale-watchers for company. Surfers Paradise's beachfront buzz contrasts with the quieter stretches of Burleigh Heads, where the headland walk through national park is a highlight. Inland, the Gold Coast Hinterland — Tamborine Mountain, Springbrook National Park, and Lamington National Park — offers World Heritage-listed rainforest walks with waterfalls, glow worms, and ancient trees. The creative precincts of Burleigh, Miami, and Palm Beach have transformed the Gold Coast's cultural credentials.
