Have recently moved to Tugun after months of looking on the Gold Coast. I’d been deterred from looking her due to the flight path but have found it not to be all that bad. Those worried (like I was) just need to look at the actual flight path and stay clear of homes directly in it (if noise bothers you).

The local cafes and restaurants are pretty good, some of the bars are doing well with good wineS and beers to choose from. The pub needs to update the menu and beer list but otherwise it’s ok as well. You have plenty to choose from as well which I’ve come to enjoy.

It’s nice down at the beach and a great cycleway now makes it great for recreational stuff. Main road bottlenecks can be a little bit of a pain and council needs to put a pedestrian overpass/underpass over Gold Coast Highway to make it safer as lots of people attempt the jay walk dangerously.

Can’t comment on schools but believe it’s well connected with transport and cycle ways.

Overall I’m happy to be in Tugun away from the tacky high rises and have found a strong community spirit locally.

Couple of tips for newbies.

Do shop at the friendly grocer
Do check out the local bars and restaurants
Don’t worry too much about the planes unless you sleep from 7am to 7pm.
Do get a bike and enjoy the cycleways
Do check out the bowling club for meal deals

In summary, really happy to be in Tugun!
