Travel tips
If you are flying out of Gold Coast Airport, Byron Bay Express runs the most direct shuttle service: straight from Jonson Street to Coolangatta, no transfer needed. Book at least 24 hours ahead. From Byron to Surfers Paradise itself, any of Greyhound, FlixBus or Premier work well. The M1 from the Tweed Heads border to the Gold Coast is generally fast, but the Saturday morning beach run from Byron northbound has been getting busier; book ahead during summer school holidays. Gold Coast G:link light rail connects Surfers Paradise to Helensvale and Broadbeach, so you don't need a separate transfer if you are staying further along the strip.
