If there’s one dish that’s synonymous with outdoor dining on the Gold Coast, it’s Rick Shores’ famed Rick’s Fried Bug Roll. Come for a dining experience that’s refined but far from stuffy, reflecting the Coast’s laid-back and unpretentious outlook, and a contemporary Pan-Asian menu smattered with spiced mackerel, king prawn yellow curry and next-level desserts. A team of the country’s top food critics voted this venue as Queensland’s number one restaurant in 2017.

In the Currumbin Valley, Cougal Cascades is hands down one of the best places to escape to on a hot day. The Waterfall is mesmerising with its short rock face rushing with fresh water and plunging deep into an emerald pool. It’s an easy 500 metre walk from the carpark and a careful hike down onto the rock face. One of the best Gold Coast waterfalls you can swim under.

Purling Brook Falls is well worth a whole day expedition, visiting 100-metre tall waterfalls, glittering swimming holes and a fragrant eucalyptus forest. While you can’t (technically) swim under Purling Brook Falls itself, follow the subtropical path all the way through to breathtaking lookouts and then hike the extra loop to Warringa Pool where you can spend all day submerged in fresh water pools. Heaven.
