Overview
Tugun – often called “Tugz” by locals – is a beach‑side suburb on the Gold Coast that blends relaxed coastal living with convenient city access. At the foot of Tugun Beach, holiday units, motels and a strip of shops along Golden‑Four Drive create a vibrant tourist hub, while the Gold Coast Oceanway links walkers and cyclists to neighboring Currumbin and Bilinga. Families and retirees enjoy a variety of green spaces, from Golden Four Park and Tugun Hill Conservation Area to numerous reserves dotted throughout the suburb, and social venues such as the Tugun Bowls Club, Surf Lifesaving Club, and the Tugun Tavern add to the community feel.
Situated at the junction of the Pacific and Gold Coast highways, Tugun is just 7 km from Coolangatta and 97 km from Brisbane; the 2008 Tugun Bypass eased earlier congestion. The 2021 census recorded 7,175 residents, and while there are no schools within the suburb, primary and secondary options lie a short drive away in Currumbin and Palm Beach. Health services are nearby at John Flynn Private Hospital, and the mix of permanent homes, beachfront apartments and holiday accommodations reflects Tugun’s dual appeal as both a residential enclave and a popular vacation spot.
