Why not give yourself a treat with a trip to The Rockpools, one of the family attractions located 3.6 mi (5.8 km) from central Gold Coast. Our travelers also like the area for its beaches and parks, so you can spend the afternoon catching a few rays. It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. If you have fun at The Rockpools, you'll love Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, just a short walk away.
