Pelican Sands Resort Location – Tugun, Gold Coast

Located at 335-337 Golden Four Drive in the picturesque suburb of Tugun, Queensland, Pelican Sands is the most relaxing Tugun family beachfront accommodation. Tugun gets is a name from an indigenous dialect’s word for ‘breaking waves”, which is appropriate as the waves and the beach make it one of Australia’s most desirable beach destinations.

Its perfect location is complemented by our apartments with glass doors that open to your balcony overlooking the beach, and a warm, friendly atmosphere cultivated by our approachable and fun-loving staff. You may also be lucky enough to watch the humpback whales returning from Antarctica to their calving grounds near the Great Barrier Reef. Or simply enjoy the sandy and sun-kissed shores.

Pelican Sands Beach Resort is also conveniently located nearby Tugun Surf Life Saving Club where you can enjoy scrumptious meals at the Bistro. You may also try your luck at their gaming lounge.

We invite you to experience these pleasures and the many restaurants and shopping centres in Tugun and Gold Coast. To find us at our Tugun resort accommodation, please follow these directions:

From Brisbane take the Pacific Motorway all the way until off ramp to Tugun. We are the tallest building along the road; Golden Four Drive runs parallel with the Gold Coast Highway-on the Eastern side-of course!. The resort is located 2 km north of the Gold Coast Airport.

We always try and stay in apartment 602 as both the bedrooms and lounge have 180 degree views of the ocean, absolutely amazing!

A great place to stay, but fixtures and fittings are getting a bit worn and weary. 1/2 mile to nearest shops.

The family comes here for a holiday once every few years. The rooms have had an upgrade since we were here last. The furniture is nice, the rooms are spacious with great seaside views. The staff really care for us and we'll be back again in the future.

Location great! Stayed in 601 and the room smelt like off yogurt especially the curtains. Had to open up doors and was quite loud due to this. Bed kept collapsing as well. Had to rebuild it our selves. very cheap designs, and the beams were thin and were held by plastic pieces that had to be fixed several times. Location was very good though. U also need to pay to use the pool table equipment and the table tennis stuff.

Perfect on the beach getaway. Fully furnished apartments, quiet,clean and comfortable. Views North to Gold Coast beaches and Coolangatta to the South. Leslie was a most helpful and friendly on site manager.

Great views, being right next to the beach. Close to the airport and reasonably priced. Bathroom had been recently renovated, but ensuite and kitchen quite dated and tired.

Absolutely breathtaking, you get views of the ocean from the front balcony and the hill's to the west from the back balcony. Rooms are clean, comfortable and modern. Airport right across the road so great for plane spotting.

The view from our apartment was the most amazing view, straight direct to the ocean it was like having our own private beach!! No roads or other apartments in the way! The room was clean and had a lovely kitchen and cute little furnishings. Loved the spa bath in our bathroom. Would definitely come back.
