If you’ve planned a trip to the Gold Coast and staying at the incredible Sanctuary Cove, you might ask yourself, what to do in Sanctuary Cove?
We’ve put together a list of the top 5 things to see and do around Sanctuary Cove. But first, here is a bit of info on Sanctuary Cove…
Where is Sanctuary Cove
Located on the Gold Coast, 1 hour south from Brisbane Airport or around 45-minutes from the Gold Coast Airport you will find Sanctuary Cove. If you’re looking to head into Surfers Paradise for a look around, it is only a 30-minute drive away.
