Gold Coast Kiteboarding Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • The Gold Coast is a great place to learn to kitesurf, since there are a number of schools along the coastline to choose from. To get lessons from multi-title-winning instructors, contact Sky High.
  • Kitesurfing is fairly unrestricted on the Gold Coast, just be sure to stay out of the swimming areas, marked by red and yellow safety flags.
  • Check water and weather conditions for the Gold Coast beaches via live web cams at http://www.coastalwatch.com/.

Beach Overview: Gold Coast, Australia

By Matt Link
The Gold Coast is Australia's South Florida: plenty of high rises, cheap beach eats, tanning bodies, and kids just out from school. A vacation spot since the 1880s, more than two million visitors annually hit the beaches here. The Gold Coast is situated in southeast Queensland, just one hour south of Brisbane. Access to the area is via the Gold Coast Highway, which runs the length of the coast, off the Pacific Highway from Sydney or Brisbane. More than 35 beaches (each patrolled by lifeguards) and over 40 miles of uninterrupted sands line the coastline. Read More
