One of the hidden gems of Queensland, Australia, Tugun is a lesser-known tourist destination. Fondly referred to as “Tugz” by the locals, this quaint southern Gold Coast suburb is home to one of the largest beaches in the region. While Gold Coast is at its peak when it comes to worldwide popularity, Tugun definitely comes across as a peaceful and tranquil escape. The beaches are definitely the city’s top attractions, but its hospitable atmosphere, cafe culture, and numerous dining options can also make it stand out. Tugun Park is a great place to visit if you are traveling with your family as it offers a playground and barbecue facilities.
