Check public transport from the chosen address for any non-beach outings. If you want one Byron Bay drive, rent a car just for that day rather than paying for an idle vehicle all stay.
Gold Coast · Where to Stay on the Gold Coast
Which southern Gold Coast beach base suits a family without a car?
We have twelve nights with children aged seven and ten, carry bodyboards, want casual meals on foot and prefer a quieter, affordable apartment over noisy Surfers Paradise.

Read recent reviews for aircraft and street noise, ventilation and air conditioning. An older beachside apartment can be good value, but inspect its room details carefully.

Compare Burleigh, Palm Beach and Tugun by actual walking distance from an available apartment to a patrolled beach, groceries and dinner. A cheap room several blocks uphill may not feel convenient with boards.
