From Agnes Water to the Gold Coast, you can find many beach towns, large and small, that offer great surfing. Around Agnes Water, the surf tends to be smaller and gentler, and you can enjoy cheap accommodation in backpackers like Cool Bananas or a more luxurious room in hotels like 1770 Lagoons Central Apartment Resort. Further south, the Sunshine Coast offers more robust surf. Spots like Beach Breakers Resort and Horizons at Peregian will place you steps away from some of the region’s most popular beaches.

While there are many golf courses spread all throughout the state, Queensland offers one of the most unique golfing experiences, in the Whitsunday Islands. Here, you play 18 holes on an island that’s completely dedicated to the golf course. There are no hotels on Dent Island, but you can stay at one of the resorts on nearby Hamilton Island. Spots like Beach Club or Palm Bungalows will place you within easy reach of the ferry terminal, and your ride over to Hamilton Island Golf Course should only take around 10min.

Families generally head to the Gold Coast for the theme parks and the beaches. A stay at one of the hotels in Coomera, like Coomera Motor Inn, will place you in easy reach of Dreamworld, Warner Bros. Movie World and Wet'n'Wild. If you’d like to be closer to the beach, consider one of the Gold Coast’s many resorts, like Rhapsody Resort. Here, you can have a spacious family room with the beach at your doorstep and easy access to the theme parks via a bookable shuttle service. You’ll also be within walking distance of the Sling Shot ride, Ripley's Believe It or Not, King Tutts Putt Putt and other family-friendly Gold Coast attractions.
