Top Five Things To Do In Gold Coast

The winter months are upon us. There is no escaping the harsh reality of the cold breeze that is like a slap in the face when you open that front door. There is an escape, however, on the horizon if you think ahead and plan a vacation for after the holidays are over. Why not add a carrot to the end of your stick and plan something that you have to look forward to after the holiday decorations go back into the box. The Gold Coast, Australia, is like heaven on Earth and a real treasure to look forward to.

The Gold Coast is not only home to Surfers Paradise, but to many other amazing attractions. No shortage of things to do, it is the perfect getaway for couples, or families alike. Home to many beautiful natural sights, it also has the other attractions that make it the perfect mix for everyone, at every age. These top five things to do in Gold Coast should not be overlooked:

1. Surfers Paradise
2. 4WD on the beach
3. Sky diving
4. Deep sea fishing
5. Picnic on the Beach



Of course, surfers paradise. Unlike any other building in the world the views from any angle are breath-taking and awe-inspiring. Looking out over the ocean, you can see the vastness of the coastline. To really soak in the majestic nature of the view, there are binoculars available to see as far as the eye can and then a much further. Unlike anywhere else on Earth, you are not only allowed, but are encouraged to ride on the beach with your vehicle. Imagine the wind whipping through your hair as you feel like you just got the freedom of a 16 year old with a new license.

If you have always wanted to try it, but never really had the courage, sky diving in the Gold Coast is the perfect opportunity. Specializing in safety, the skydiving available is unbelievable. Not only do you get the thrill of free falling from the sky, but you can see the awe-inspiring views from above. The shoreline is nothing short of spectators.

If you are more of a water person, try some deep sea fishing. Charter and hit the water to catch what few seasoned fisherman have been able to experience. Why eat in some stuffy old restaurant. Pack a picnic and hit the beach. Nothing is more romantic than watching the adventure around you while sharing an intimate dinner for two, just the two of you.
