So many young people flock to the shores of Main Beach and other parts of the Gold Coast, because it doesn’t matter what time of day or night it is, there is always a party to be enjoyed. Clubs, bar, nightclubs and pubs come alive from the moment they open and keep on rocking on into the night. Providing a great time for all you can really kick up your heels and dance the night away with a great group of people. Where you find a great place along the main strip or get your grove on in one of the bars at the hostels you really will love the nightlife!

During the day you may like to just relax on the sundrenched beaches, swim in the warm crystal blue waters, maybe even try your hand at some world class surfing....

The grassy green picnic grounds that line the foreshore are perfect for lazing in through the afternoon or maybe even kicking a football around with friends while you enjoy a BBQ. The surrounding suburbs that are all really close such as Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and even beautiful Coolangatta can hold many other attractions for you to enjoy.

The Gold Coast Hinterland which is just a short drive away is where you can embark on a horse riding adventure, do some abseiling, go hang gliding, mountain biking, bush walking or hiking through the thick lush vegetation of the rainforests and get up close and personal with an amazing array of flora and fauna. There are whale watching tours that depart every day during the whale watching season, but if you just can’t get enough of the water you might like to try a fishing charter or diving adventure for the day.
