3 Outdoor Summer Activities On The Gold Coast To Try
The Gold Coast is located in the South Eastern corner of QLD
, Australia. The climate is perfect all year round but during summer the average temperatures hover around 28 degrees Celsius. This makes it the perfect destination to participate in a range of outdoor activities that can take you from the gorgeous beaches to the upper reaches of the Tamborine hinterland.
So what can you do on the Gold Coast during summer? Below is just a few activities that we like to enjoy during summer, so we hope you will as well:
Mountain Biking - There are a range of mountain bike trails available for locals and visitors. The Nerang national park is one of the more popular mountain biking locations with a range of trails for the cross country rider to mild downhill tracks and a little in between as well. If you are more into the downhill side of the sport, Mt Tamborine offers some fantastic tracks but you will need to do a little research to find them. You can also take a ride along the beach if a more casual peace is more enjoyable for you, bike paths stretch from The Spit down to Coolangatta. Mountain bike hire is available from a number of dealers, please ask your accommodation provider for details.
Golf - For a golfer, being on the Gold Coast is like being a kid in a candy shop. The selection of golf courses seems to be endless. With courses ranging from links style to resort courses, there is a course that will either satisfy or frustrate every golfer in your family. Either way it will be enjoyable experience playing golf on the Coast.
Jet Skiing - Riding a jet ski around the waterways of the Gold Coast give you a new perspective of the beauty of the area. Jet Ski tours are now a popular and regular activity for locals and visitors to experience the city and enjoy the thrill of riding a jet ski. If you are more experienced on a jet ski, taking your machine out through the seaway and around to a deserted beach break on South Stradbroke Island will give you hours of fun and enjoyment. Several holiday houses such as Monte Vista in Broadbeach Waters have private pontoons so you can take in the waterways of the Gold Coast and tie up at your holiday home for a lunch break before tackling the rest of your day on the water.
