"Where the Mountains Meet the Sea."
Nowhere else on the Gold Coast will you get the sense of community that there is in Tugun. It has evolved over about 100 years from a farming area and railway stop with just a few holiday homes to a modern and progressive community catering for the needs of all age groups.
Whether you are young and single after your first flat to rent, a young family or retiree wanting to be close to the beach, or a successful business person trying to "live the dream" and have a home overlooking the beach, you're very likely to find something to suit your needs.
There are very few places on the Gold Coast where you find the lush green of the hills and mountains come so close to the ocean. Currumbin Creek and wildlife sanctuary are 5 minutes down the road.
The airport is five minutes drive, and direct access to the M1 is only a couple of minutes away.
Tugun Surf Life Saving Club is right on the beach where you can swim in safety during patrol times and have a meal and a drink with the family. The Bowls club is recognised well throughout Australia especially with winter visitors from southern states.
The shopping village offers every imaginable service and product range, all in a relaxed family friendly way. Schools are only minutes away at Currumbin. The John Flynn Hospital is one of Australia's most respected private hospitals and sits at the back of Tugun.
Tugun. The complete beachside lifestyle you have been looking for.

Totally agree JT68. I can't believe more people don't know what a gem Tugun is. We love to take family walks and have so many choices - nature reserve, beach, hills, flats. Walk to shops, beach, restaurants, and extremely easy north/south access.
For those who trash it because of noise, we came from Palm Beach where we were directly under the flight turning path. We experienced much more noise there than we do in Tugun. If you choose to live directly underneath the flight path, then you must expect plane noise, that's just common sense - but if you choose a property just a little further west into Tugun/Tugun Heights, you won't regret it. As for the desal plant, if you didn't drive past it on the way to the dump, you wouldn't know it was there.
It really is a hidden gem and we love it.
I love Tugun. A friend of mine has bought a townhouse on Inland drive and althought we get noise from planes every half an hour or so it only lasts 20 seconds. I live in Sydney and my unit faces william street which is quite noisy every day of the week especially on saturdays as is very close to Kings Cross. Tugun has a beautifull beach which is never crowded like the Gold Coast, the people are friendly they have said hello to me a few times a thing Sydney lacks completely. Its clean and quiet, has a relaxing lifestyle and I love coming here for a couple of weeks to get out of the rat race Sydney is. The neighbours in our complex are really nice down to earth people. Even when the shops are a bit far to walk I have been walking to them and actually enjoyed it as it is flat. Is without a doubt one of the best places to live in the Gold Coast area.
My son and I are thinking of relocating to Gold Coast from Adelaide. Looking at Tugun or Bruleigh Waters. It is going to be a really important decision but extremely hard one as don't have too much knowledge about the arears
My son is in year 8 now so finding good school will be the first priority when making decision.
its a good move suburbs south of broadbeach are not as rough or run down not that there aren't any of the usual problems aussie suburbs have it dosnt seem as prevalent and a great clean outdoor lifestyle for any age
hey guys, if youre planning to have a baby soon would the planes be an issue? first baby so no idea how much outside noise impacts them! cheers
zoet1 if you live to the west of the flight path you will hardly hear the noise. Some people put secondary glazing which is a second set of sliding windows inside the main ones in a baby's room or anyone's room if it bothers them. My son was never bothered by it as a baby and we lived right under the path then. Now he is almost grown up he wants to be a pilot.
thanks for replying JT! if its a rental I suppose it will be harder to make adjustments to the house, but good to know it shouldn't really be a factor in choosing the home .. cheers
