If you’re looking for an awesome destination in Queensland for a family vacation, definitely look into Coolangatta. There are plenty of scenic beaches and fun things for families to enjoy. Here are some of the best things to do here.
Hit the beaches
Coolangatta has pristine, beautiful beaches with world-class surfing conditions. Your babies might not be surfing legends yet, so you can laze under the sun and run around catching waves and making sandcastles. There are six beach spots here, namely Kirra Point, Kirra Beach, Greenmount Beach, Rainbow Bay, Snapper Rocks and Coolangatta Beach.
Fun playdate at Queen Elizabeth Park
All kids love to play. So even if they don’t always like the food or sandcastles, a playground or park will most certainly keep them occupied while you can sit and read a book. Just a 10 min walk away from a Coolangatta resort such as the likes of Oaks Gold Coast Calypso Plaza Suites, this beautiful beachfront park is also right across from one of the main dining and shopping precincts in Coolangatta.
Explore your artsy side
For over 30 years now, on every second Sunday of each month, Gold Coast’s biggest beachside arts and crafts market is held at Queen Elizabeth Park. These markets consist of over 150 stalls representing Aussie made products, fresh food and produce and delicious street food and snacks. You can shop for souvenirs and soak up the golden sun all at the same time.
Pancakes in Paradise
This is an American diner-style pancake diner! Little ones will go absolutely crazy over the array of delicious American style pancakes served any time of day. There are other classics such as burgers, USA pork ribs and milkshakes too for your absolute indulgence. The unique flavours such as Devonshire pancakes, sticky date and black forest will surely leave you wanting more.
