The Gold Coast’s brilliant sun and sandy beaches, its location on the east coast tourist corridor, cheap direct air flights, kilometres of golden beach, the huge lush world heritage rainforest, 60,000 plus bed spaces of all grades and over 500 restaurants and bars make this area a truly magnetic destination for Gold Coast backpackers.
Backpackers preferred to stay longer and participate in more of the activities the Gold Coast region has to offer. Cheap Gold Coast car hire opens up the whole coast and hinterland to enjoy and explore at your leisure.
The Gold Coast is more than a place to catch up on the beer quota, learn to surf and work part-time at the same time to earn some money. While the surf, beach, sun and the people are key attractions pf the region, so is the bungy jumping and ice skating.
