What to wear:
The Gold Coast summer starts in late November and continues to late February. The winter months are mild. Light cool clothing suits the climate for most of the year although long sleeved tops, sweaters, and jackets may be needed during the winter months.
The local dress code is resort style casual. There are some stylish restaurants, nightclubs and other entertainment venues with dress codes that allow visitors to show a slightly more formal style.
Summer wear could include shorts, comfortable shoes, sundresses and other light, comfortable clothing. Add long trousers and warmer tops for winter.
Don't forget to bring swimwear; most people swim all year round.
A hat and sunscreen are recommended sun protection.
