Best Family
Beach Vacation

1. The sand is clean, soft and inviting.  
2. The water is clear, clean and warm.

In the summer months, I love the very early mornings.  No daylight savings so the sun is up VERY early!  

You feel like you've done so much before it's even breakfast time!

And best of all - the beaches are brilliant all year round - no box jelly fish like northern Queensland!  

As much as I love the beach, the other great thing about the Gold Coast is that there is so much else to see and do here.  

And most family activities you can do at any time - what great flexibility for a holiday.
