Oedi
A good place, and a reason to linger.
Things to do in Gold Coast
Beyond the high-rises, the Gold Coast is a string of headlands, point breaks and low-key beach towns with a serious cafe scene. Pair a coffee with a coastal walk or a national-park lookout.
Burleigh Heads
The Gold Coast's most beloved point break, backed by a rainforest headland and a buzzing James Street cafe scene. Coffee, then a coastal walk to the skyline view.
Palm Beach
A long, low-key stretch of Gold Coast sand that's quietly become a cafe destination. Coffee off the highway, then dunes, creek mouth and open beach.
Coolangatta
The Gold Coast's southern tip, where the beaches curve around a headland to the NSW border. Coffee near the sand, then the Point Danger walk between two states.
