Hope
Island |
 Boat at Hope Island Marina Hope Island is at the northern end of Australia’s Gold Coast. Right next door to the prestigious Sanctuary Cove. An area still very much “under development”. It is being transformed into luxury residential and holiday accommodation based around secure gated communities. This is what Gold Coast lifestyle is all about! Accommodation options include:
A
shopping village where
you can pick up your
holiday needs or enjoy great relaxed restaurants or cafés including the
Boardwalk Tavern and Red Rock.

 Hope
Island Resort Shopping Village and Marina
|
The
marina boasts super yacht berths as well as regular
berths. As usual in the Gold Coast you will be spoilt by the great golf and sporting facilities – anyone for tennis? Pretty much all the facilities you’d expect in a top holiday destination. Many of the properties for rent come with their own Golf Buggy to get you around on some of the private roads. |
Buggies are
so cool!

Hope Island Resort Golf Course
This golf course is the only links style golf course on the Gold Coast.
Green fees include motorized buggy.
This course is a soft spike only course – so remember to pack your soft spikes!
Beach Information
Hope Island has no beaches.
Closest beach on the Broadwater is Paradise Point. At Paradise Point there is a swimming enclosure for safe swimming in the Broadwater. Also a great café strip with some excellent little gourmet deli's and cafés.
Best beach by boat would be the pristine beaches at South Stradbroke Island – usually you have them all to yourself!
Broadwater beaches at Paradise Point, Labrador or Southport are within about 20 to 25 minutes drive.
Drive to Main Beach for some ocean beach and surf fun. Main Beach is the closest ocean beach and will take about 30 to 35 minutes by car.
