Tugun is a beach-side suburb on the Gold
Coast in Queensland, Australia.
At the 2011 census, Tugun had a population of
5,976.
Tugun is situated at the junction of the Pacific
and Gold Coast highways 7 kilometres (4.3 mi)
north-west of Coolangatta and 96 kilometres
(60 mi) south of Brisbane, the state capital. The
junction was notoriously traffic-clogged but has
improved markedly upon completion of the
Tugun Bypass in June 2008.
Tugun is a popular holiday destination, with a
number of holiday units and motels lining
Tugun Beach. Tugun has a number of shops
located on its Golden-Four Drive strip.

Its name is believed to have derived from an
Indigenous word of unknown dialect meaning
"breaking waves". Locals fondly call Tugun,
Tugz (pronounced choo-gs).
Tugun joined to its neighbouring suburbs of
Currumbin and Bilinga via the Gold Coast
Oceanway.
