Day trips are the greatest – long enough to sow the adventure seed and leave you feeling happy that you got out of the backyard, plus you get to sleep in your own bed at night.
We have surf, sand, rainforest, country and metropolitan day trips all at our finger tips so Savvy Mama will bring you ‘travel tips’ on Day Trip’n to motivate you to have a fun family day out and about and enjoy our beautiful surroundings – maybe somewhere a bit different, or maybe somewhere you haven’t been in a while. Check out where to PLAY, EAT, SHOP and ADVENTURE with the kids!
At the northern tip of the Gold Coast, Paradise Point hosts the Esplanade North Park, bordering calm water, super views, a paved waterfront pathway and everything you may need nearby. So set up camp for the day and enjoy some family fun!
PLAY
There are three playgrounds that line the waterfront park and the kids will surely love at least one of them. The main playground is a big one and has rope climbs, swings, slides and more to suit most ages. If this playground is a bit busy, you can always check out two more within a quick walk north along the waterfront path. There is enough green space to kick the ball, throw Frisbee, and there is also a great strip of sand, swimming area and a pier for fishing.
EAT
You will find several cafés that line the Esplanade if you are looking to eat in or alfresco, or you could grab a take away coffee or BYO picnic in the park. There are BBQ’s and picnic tables scattered throughout the foreshore park and there is also some great casual take away food shops like traditional fish'n chips, or Billy’s Chickens where you can get salads and yummy roast chickens to carve up.
SHOP
Lolipop for Kids is right on the Esplanade and offers kids clothes, including some designer labels. You can also find the markets on in the park the fourth Sunday of each month from 7am to 2pm. If that doesn’t give you a shopping fix there is always Harbour Town Outlet Shopping Centre a few km’s away.
ADVENTURE
You can bring the scooters, roller blades or bikes and make your way along the foreshore path. If you have a boat there is direct access to the Coomera River or you can meander through the canals of Sovereign Island and check out all the beautiful waterfront homes.
