The Gold Coast beaches are as beautiful as any in the world. You can run from Surfers paradise north to the Spit and back south as far as Miami, a total of over 20 kms without having to leave the beach. In all there are about 45 kms of beautiful white sands and runners aplenty from about 5 am. For run in the country though, head west along Currumbin Creek Road from Currumbin Beach. About 22 kms is a superb National Park with fresh, cool, cool, cool running water and rock pools set in the tangled vines of a tropical rainforest. Relatively flat and not a lot of traffic, with beautiful mountain views and the gentle lowing of cows as they say "Hi". We ran this one on the weekend and had a car meet us at the National Park for a swim, picnic and relaxing afternoon.
