Brisbane: Surfing

Although Brisbane is somewhat lacking in surf spots in the city’s immediate vicinity, there are a huge amount of options nearby. The glorious Gold Coast is the most popular of Queensland’s holiday playgrounds and a magnet for sun seekers and fun seekers. Perfect for surf holidays, the focal point is accurately-titled ‘Surfer’s Paradise’. The Sunshine Coast is also another surf spot well worth checking out - a continuous chain of sandy beaches from Caloundra in the south to Noosa Heads, backed by the beautiful Glasshouse Mountains. Further afield, take a trip to beautiful Fraser Island, wonderful Moreton Island or simply unforgettable Whitsunday islands, nestled in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Indeed, holidaymakers have no lack of surfing options it comes to Brisbane breaks.
