Golden sand, glassy waves, high-rises that are practically touching the ocean and a laid-back holiday vibe, it's hardly a surprise that the Gold Coast is home to some of Australia's most Insta-gramable views. Tanned legs, hipster coffee houses and California beach city vibes are your golden ticket to Insta stardom.
