There’s nothing quite like the hot summer days and cool ocean breezes on a Gold Coast summer holiday. Escaping to a coastal holiday destination over the Christmas school holidays for some quality family time, booking in a romantic getaway with your special someone, or getting together a group of friends to explore somewhere new. Whatever your reasons for needing a holiday on the iconic Surfers Paradise beach, you’re guaranteed to be blown away by the incredible local attractions, events, and location when you stay at Anacapri.
Christmas Festivities light up Surfers Paradise
Christmas in Surfers Paradise is an annual event that brings to life the streets of Surfers with entertainment, Santa in boardshorts, Christmas trees, carollers, and more! You won’t want to miss out on Carols on the Beach which runs on the 22nd of December and sees locals and visitors alike pull up a spot on the white sand to enjoy hours of Christmas cheer! Musicians perform all of your favourites live, and to top it all off the Christmas fireworks on the beach are bound to bring a twinkle to your eye!
Gifts with a difference
The Surfers Paradise beachfront markets are the perfect place to find that perfect gift for someone who has everything! Unique, quirky, coastal, or handmade, you won’t be disappointed when you stroll along the Esplanade browsing the dozens of stalls set up along the beach.
Cavill Mall is also a sight to behold during the Christmas season, with spectacular decorations surrounding the stores overflowing with gift ideas. Santa and his helpers ready for a photo with his team of kangaroos pulling along the sleigh! It’s a Christmas memory you won’t soon forget!
Experiences for Christmas
Travelling can mean that bulky presents are tricky to manage, but there’s a surefire way to impress your loved ones on Christmas morning, and that’s with purchasing experiences instead of physical items. A sunset cruise, jetski ride, a day at Seaworld, Movie World, Dreamworld, or Currumbin Sanctuary. You can immerse yourself in a real Aussie experience with Paradise Country, or Outback Spectacular. Book a day sailing, fishing, or horse riding. Winery tours, foodie tours, or surfing lessons are all fantastic ideas.
There’s really no limit to all of the adventures to be had on the Gold Coast, and you might as well take full advantage of them on your Surfers Paradise stay. You can read more about the local attractions and location or check availability and stay rates here.
