Carnivals
Gold Coast in February
is a great time to be by the beach, surf or a pool - it's hot and
humid!
It's
busy but not as hectic as January.
February is a very sporting month in the Gold Coast.
Apart
from surf lifesaving and surf
carnivals - there are also major golf and
volleyball competitions.
Sport
and Aussies go together - so this is a
great time to see some Aussie Icons.
Sport
isn't the only thing you can do in the
Gold Coast during February.

It's
a brilliant time to check
out the rainforest in the hinterland.
The
lush rainforest comes alive with interesting plants and animals and is
a complete contrast to the hustle and bustle of the built up coast.

Tips for
Travelers to Gold Coast in February
|
For
Australian Visitors
This
is a great time to sneak in a late summer holiday when Queensland
school
children have returned to school! You will still need to book early for
good
family accommodation particularly around the southern end of the coast
due to
the various surf carnivals.
Accommodation with air-conditioning is highly recommended at this time
of year.
|
|
For
Visitors from Overseas
It
is still very hot and humid this month however most Australian school
kids are back at school during this month. It
is quieter but
definitely not quiet!
If you want to witness some iconic Australian sports – this
is a great month to
visit.
Good quality, air-conditioned accommodation in a good location is still
the
best pick.
Most surf carnivals will be mid to southern end of the coast
– so if you plan
to be mostly watching this then opt for accommodation in or south of
Surfers
Paradise.
Some
top picks for accommodation would be a good hotel, top quality villa or
well-positioned apartment.
