Walk the Gold Coast beachfront
The Gold Coast is a long strip of beaches and towers in Queensland, with a coastal path that runs for kilometres along the sand. FOG keeps the map dark until you walk it, and the beachfront draws one long, thin line.
Surfers Paradise
Surfers Paradise is the centre, with high rise towers right behind the beach and Cavill Avenue, a pedestrian street, leading to the sand. The SkyPoint observation deck at the top of the Q1 tower looks along the whole coast.
The Esplanade runs along the beach, with a promenade and night markets in the area.
The Oceanway
The Gold Coast Oceanway is a coastal path that runs for many kilometres along the beaches. South from Surfers, it passes Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach and Miami to Burleigh Heads, where a headland of rainforest and basalt has a walking track around it.
North of Surfers, The Spit runs out between the Broadwater and the ocean. Inland, the hinterland has rainforest national parks.
Heat and sun
The Gold Coast is warm year round, with hot, humid summers and storms. The sun is strong, so walk early or late and wear protection.
The map here is a long line rather than a grid. Walking the beach between suburbs builds a long coastline.
How FOG keeps score here
FOG starts with the whole world under fog. Every place you physically walk clears a circle of roughly 120 metres around you, and that ground stays clear for good. It keeps working with the app closed and the screen off once you allow background location, so the walk to dinner counts as much as the planned loop.
There is no account, no sign-up and no cloud. The trail lives on your phone and nowhere else, and you can export a GPX backup whenever you like. Exploring is free; one purchase of FOG Unlimited adds the higher ranks, all five character paths and history import, with no subscription.
