Population

location. The Gold Coast has both a domestic and international airport,
so it can be easily reached from all over the globe. The Australian
dollar is the currency used and foreigners can change their cash in a
few agencies throughout the city.
Climate
The Gold Coast’s climate is really temperate, meaning the weather is
nice all year long, with temperature averages from 17 to 26 degrees
Celsius. This means that there are generally no extreme temperatures, so
if a person travels in an off-peak season, they are probably going to
still experience pleasant weather which is still acceptable for the
beach!
When to Visit
The top seasons are during the summertime of Nov to January, when
tourists wish to spend the Yuletide or New Year Holidays. The other
favored travel periods are during Easter and the all though September
and October when Australian kids enjoy school holidays. The city’s
cultural season is going full tilt on the months of September to Jan
when many festivals and events are held. Airlines, hostels and

there also are some appealing events going on in this time of the year.
Where to Eat

primary location to eat and be seen is Tedder Avenue in Main Beach,
where about 30 top restaurants and bars sit side-by-side on either side
of the street. Surfers Paradise has more places to eat, but they’re
scattered across broader geography and there is no specific dining
‘strip ‘. Another area worth checking out is the Broadbeach CBD, as it
has a good range of delicious dining options, but further down the coast
the restaurants become fewer and further between.
