What to expect in Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is one of Australia's classic surf regions, combining famous pointbreaks, city convenience, and a strong performance-surf identity. It is a very complete surf-travel destination, but the popularity of its best waves means crowd pressure is almost always part of the equation. It is one of the easiest places to combine surf performance and daily comfort, but anyone visiting the famous points should expect crowd pressure as part of the package.
