Retro Guide to the Gold Coast
Since the 1950's, the Gold Coast has been a sought after holiday destination, when families would descend on the beach shacks that once lined the beachfront and side streets or the highway motels, to make happy carefree memories that would last a lifetime. Today you can still find pockets of nostalgia from that era dotted around the Gold Coast, especially the laidback southern beaches which still bear a resemblance to how they looked back then. Families can get a taste of those simpler times, from riding a vintage bike along the Bilinga beachfront or strolling with double scoop ice-cream in hand down the main street of Coolangatta to staying in a real 1960's motel. Here's where to find the best of the retro Gold Coast:
