Beach Vacation Time

The Gold Coast in March? There simply isn’t anywhere better for a beach vacation!

It might be autumn but it’s sizzling - in fact March is a personal favourite of mine!


Lots of local surf and surf lifesaving events are held this month. You'll also find the pro-surfers in town to catch the great surf at this time of year!

If surfing isn’t your thing you can walk, play, laze on one of the amazing beaches.

Tips for Travelers to Gold Coast in March
For Australian Visitors    

A great time to visit, especially if you don’t have school aged children.

Accommodation with air-conditioning is highly recommended at this time of year.

For Visitors from Overseas   

March is still hot by most people’s standards but seems much more bearable than the summer months.

When Easter falls in March sometimes the school holidays don't coincide with Easter.  In the main areas most businesses catering for visitors remain open throughout Easter, but if you are off the beaten track a little be conscious that holidays to Aussies are sacred and most things will be shut!

Good quality, air-conditioned accommodation in a good location is still the best pick for a beach vacation.
