Fingal Head Coastal Walk & Lighthouse
The coastal walk along Fingal Head where the lighthouse sits, has to be one of my favourite! With minimal crowds, picture perfect views and plenty of spots to sit and relax, this is a great family friendly coastal walk. Points of attraction here include the Fingal Head Lighthouse, built in 1872, and Australia's very own Giants Causeway.

Gold Coast parks for early walkers
Heading to a playground with an early walker can often be a difficult task - the play equipment is too advanced, the play surface not baby friendly, the list goes on. One of the most common questions I'm asked is where are the best parks to visit with little ones who are just starting to coast around holding on to things, or have started toddling around but aren't confident on their feet. Well, this list is for you! Here is my list of playgrounds that cater for the 10mth - 2 year age group.
