Relax this summer on some of Australia's best beaches with car rental on the Gold Coast
Summer is upon us and what better way to experience it than a trip to the Gold Coast. Australia's most famous stretch of sand will entertain you whether you are travelling with your partner, friends or family. Experience the Surfers Paradise nightlife, take in the big 4 Theme Parks, or simply just laze around and explore the many beaches at your fingertips. With 70km of spectacular coastline on offer, there is a beach for everyone!
The range of beaches on offer on the Gold Coast means that you can pick and choose what type of beach you are after depending on what you feel like, who you are travelling with, and your skill level. If you are worried about rips, gutters and currents, the Gold Coast has 26 beaches patrolled year round, with 42 beaches patrolled during school holiday periods.
Use car hire on the Gold Coast to get to your favourite swimming beach
For those looking to enjoy a swimming beach without the waves, the general rule is that the calm swimming beaches are found towards the southern parts of the Gold coast as well as across the border in NSW. Some of the beaches best suited for swimming include Burleigh Heads, just 11kms south of Surfers Paradise and offering bay like conditions on a regular basis, as well as Bilinga and Rainbow Bay closer to Tweed Heads and the NSW border. If you are happy to drive a little further into NSW, Hastings Point and Byron Bay's main beach have gentle waves. Only 90km and approximately an hours drive, Byron Bay is easily accessible when you use our service for car rental on the Gold Coast.
Take the family to Gold Coast's safest beaches
The Gold Coast beaches are perfect not only for swimmers, but for families. While a calmer beach and patrols may well be what families are after, ample parking, picnic areas, shops and amenities are likely to be top of the list as well. Surfers Paradise tops the lot with a large patrolled beach, as well as an abundance of shops and amenities within arms reach. Nearby Broadbeach and Mermaid Beach are also close to anything a family might need without the big crowds that Surfers Paradise experiences. The Gold Coast Spit (the permanent sand spit that separates the Southport Broadwater from the Pacific ocean) is another popular area for tourists with Sea World and whale watching on offer only 5kms away from Surfers Paradise. Or for those looking to get away from the main areas, South and North Stradbroke Island are a short drive away and are ideal day trips to experience water sports and snorkeling with the family.
Surf it up with car hire on the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast is not complete without its array of perfect surfing beaches. A massive selection of beaches perfect for surfing means that if one is lacking, another one is probably pumping. Car rental on the Gold Coast allows you to adjust to nature's decisions, and skip along to the next beach.
Situated close to the NSW border, Snapper Rocks is the pick of the surf and according to the local Queenslanders, the best beach in the world. Home to the annual Roxy and Quiksilver Pro's and the infamous ‘Superbank', Snapper Rocks is a must for the experienced surfer. Duranbah is also a popular beach for the more experienced, with the south east headland catching the swell and generating perfect conditions on a regular basis. For the less experienced and keen to take up surfing, Currumbin Alley and Surfers Paradise are the best places to learn. Currumbin Alley is away from the glitz and glamour and sits in a picturesque location just 17kms away, making it ideal for those that want to get away from the crowds. But for those that love the crowds and the nearby shops that have everything you need, Surfers Paradise is a great place to start, with surf schools and classes featured heavily.
The Gold Coast provides the perfect escape with a range of beaches suited to everyone. Whether you are a swimmer, a surfer, travelling with the family or all of the above, there is a beach on the Gold Coast for you. With vehicle options ranging from simple passenger vehicles to 4WD's and mini van hire, using car rental on the Gold Coast will get you to those beaches in no time.
