A New Year’s Eve Gold Coast experience is absolutely right for the party person in all of us. The Gold Coast is one of the fastest growing regions covering from Southport and Surfers Paradise down to Coolangatta. A Gold Coast New Year’s Eve could easily be mistaken as just a young persons party town and targeted at the late teenagers to early twenty somethings. But in reality there are a lot of older people that live on the Coast and hence there are many varied NYE Gold Coast events and venues.
It is Gold Coast summer time on the 31st December, so when NYE planning, it might be a good idea to think of venues and events that include some outside component! There is plenty of new years eve accommodation on the Gold Coast too so you should make sure you are set in that area. But just note that normally at that time of year accommodation places may have minimum stay conditions. There is normally a lot of international travelers too so book early!
The Gold Coast council sponsor NYE fireworks and these go off over the beach at the heart of the coast at Surfers Paradise. A spectacular fireworks display launches at two separate times. An earlier one at 8pm and then the traditional NYE midnight fireworks. If fireworks are to be your focus then make sure you look for parties and events around that area. At the higher end of the market for NYE dining and restaurants there are also plenty of places with fabulous New Year’s Eve themes to get involved in.
Other places that have fireworks are Coolangatta (9pm and midnight), Broadbeach (9pm and midnight), Broadwater Parklands at 9pm for families, Robina at 9pm for families, Paradise Point at 9pm for families and Coomera at 9pm for families.
