About Gold Coast
Gold Coast needs 3 days: its surf beaches (Surfers Paradise) on one, and its theme parks (Warner Bros, Dreamworld) for the rest. September-November brings mild weather ahead of the humid summer heat. It's expensive, comparable to Sydney for beachfront lodging in high season. It's Australia's unofficial surf capital and hosts the largest concentration of theme parks in the country, a combination of beach and family entertainment uncommon at other Australian coastal destinations.
