Australian Gold Coast in February



Surfers Paradise Beach View from Q1
The beach is central to life in the Gold Coast during February. See Aussie icons battling it out in surf carnivals and surfing competitions. Or simple enjoy a bit of beach. This Surfers Paradise beach view was taken from Q1.

Sun, Sport and Surf Carnivals

Gold Coast in February is a great time to be by the beach, surf or a pool since it is so hot and humid!

February is busy but not as hectic as January.

It is also 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. 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. If you plan to be mostly watching surf carnivals 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.
