Should an active family base a Christmas trip in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast?

We want beaches and activities but also easy airport access during the holiday period.

    Choose the Gold Coast if beach and surf time are daily priorities; choose Brisbane if riverfront city activities and shorter airport transfers matter more. Avoid treating them as the same base.
