Before the 1930's, Tugun boasted of having its own hotel, a railway station, a surf life saving club and general store.

Today situated at the gateway of the Gold Coast Tugun is home to a growing intensity of infrastructure development, including: the Gold Coast Ocean Way; extensions to the airport runway; the desalination plant; the Tugun Bypass;  a new university campus, the John Flynn Hospital, a proposed business precinct, a new terminal building and western enterprise area within the airport environs.

Tugun offers an exclusive amount of direct beachfront properties as well as highland properties with extensive ocean views from Rainbow Bay to Surfers Paradise!

Village is the best way to describe the atmosphere of Tugun's shopping precinct, with cafe's and convenient shops the hub of the local scene accompanied by quiet beaches you can stroll along for miles from Currumbin to Coolangatta whilst taking in the best beachside suburbs on the Gold Coast.
