Rooftop bar Gold Coast

Rooftop-grade:7/10

Prime season:Sept-May

Residents:680 000

Climate:humid subtropical

Located south of Bribane on the east coast of Austraila, Gold Coast is a metropolitan region, mostly famous for its pleasant climate and long sandy beaches. But this pleasant climate, with hot summer and mild winters, means that it is also a great place for rooftop bars.

Spread out over the different towns within the Goald Coast, you find rooftop bars from Coolangatta through Surfers Paradise and to Southport.

While there are a few really elevated Gold Coast rooftop bars, many of them are found at lower levels. But that does not stop the from providing sky-high vibes and plenty of long and fun hours in the Gold Coast sun, or under the starry sky.

AboutGold Coast

Gold Coast is the sixth largest city in Australia, stretching along the coast of east Austraila, from Southport to Coolangatta. These towns within the city are to many more famous than the city itself, with Surfers Paradise as maybe the most notable.

The coastal location means plenty of long sandy beaches, but the Gold Coast is actually half covered by forests, and also holds man-made waterways that stretches over 260 kilometers.
