If you plan to visit Queensland, here are the top 6 beaches to visit.

Coolangatta Beach, Gold Coast

Coolangatta is a golden cool beach where the water is great for body surfing and solid waves for the surfers out there and a morning walk or can stroll along the sand or the pedestrian footpath that can make a great start to any day.

You will also see two playgrounds for the kids and you can meal with spectacular views. You will find Raw Energy Cafe or stop by for a pizza across the road. The southern part of the Gold Coast and Coolangatta is especially attractive.

Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast

Burleigh Heads is the hottest family favorite of many. You can start the day by watching the amazing sunrise and the surfers taking on the world-class surf break on the beach.

Burleigh is a great swimming spot for kids. You will find a playground on the grass area and the cafe underneath the surf club makes great burgers with fabulous ocean views.

Rainbow Bay, Gold Coast

This beach is popular for the surf break of “Snapper Rocks,” which is also one of the world’s longest and most consistent points and holds the annual Quiksilver Pro World Surfing Event.

You can go inside Rainbow Bay Surf Club which offers great scenic views over Snapper Rocks and to Surfers Paradise.

Greenmount Beach, Gold Coast

Located next to Coolanagatta, Greenmount is the same stretch of beach. The corner is the best place for swimming with kids and there’s also great wave coming off the point for the surfers to enjoy.

Seventy-Five Mile Beach, Fraser Island

75 Mile Beach on Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island and is equally special. It’s a part of the Bruce Highway with strict road rules and cops around alert to catch hold of those who speed or drink drive.
