Getting around on the Gold Coast
Moving around on the Gold Coast is easy, cheap, and as fun as you want to make it – get out there and explore paradise!

The local Surfside bus network (they’re the yellow one’s) is excellent, running regular services until midnight from Southport to Tweed Heads and everywhere in between, including all the major shopping centres – just pick up a timetable from the Surfers Paradise Transit Centre.

Other options include taxi’s and frequent, air-conditioned trains to and from Brisbane and then it starts to get interesting. Proximity to the ocean means the Gold Coast is as flat as a pancake, so hire a bike or rollerblades and explore the stunning coastline for a day. Kilometres of tracks wind their way through everything the Coast has to offer; from screeching, colourful lorikeets and coastal scrub to national parks and luxury mansions, it’s all within the stretch of a leg here.

Hire a moped or buggy with a pack of mates and pretend you’re Indy driver for an afternoon or just walk until you find that perfect stretch of deserted beach; like the vibe of the Gold Coast itself, it really couldn’t be easier.
