Best Family Beach Vacation on Gold Coast

Looking for the best family beach vacation?

Best Family Vacation destination - Gold Coast Australia
Pristine Beaches on Gold Coast

Here's why I think the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia should be on YOUR holiday destination list!

No matter where in the world I travel, I compare all beaches to this one!

  1. The sand is clean, soft and inviting.  
  2. The water is clear, clean and warm.

In the summer months, I love the very early mornings.  No daylight savings so the sun is up VERY early!

You feel like you've done so much before it's even breakfast time!

And best of all - the beaches are brilliant all year round - no box jelly fish to ruin your enjoyment of the beach and ocean.

As much as I love the beach, the other great thing about the Gold Coast is that there is so much else to see and do here.

And most family activities you can do at any time - what great flexibility for a holiday.

Marine Stingers & Jelly Fish

Whilst Gold Coast beaches are mostly free of these marine nasties, that is not the case in northern Queensland. There you need to swim in stinger enclosures and wear stinger suits from October to May - leaving you only a short time of the year when the waters are clear from marine nasties like marine stingers, irukandji and box jellyfish.
