Gold Coast Highway links the coastal suburbs of the Gold Coast in south eastern Queensland such as Miami, Mermaid Beach, Tugun, Bilinga and across the border of New South Wales to the Tweed Heads suburb of Tweed Heads West. At 39.6 kilometres (24.6 mi)[1] in length, the highway runs just west of Pacific Motorway at Pacific Pines to Pacific Motorway at Tweed Heads West. It passes through the numerous popular tourist areas including Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, a commercial centre at Southport, residential areas, shopping centres and the Gold Coast (Coolangatta) Airport.
It is characterised by a variety of urban landscapes, ranging from:
high-density high rises between Southport and Broadbeach
low rise apartments in Palm Beach and Bilinga
low-rise residential areas at Miami, Tugun and Labrador
shopping at Southport and Broadbeach
entertainment precincts at Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise
historic motels at Mermaid Beach
light industry at Arundel
