About Ocean Beach Tourist Park

Ocean Beach Tourist Park is a small, beachfront caravan and holiday park located at 22 Hythe Street in Miami on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Operated under the Gold Coast Tourist Parks banner and owned by the City of Gold Coast, the park offers cabins and powered sites just steps from patrolled Miami Beach, with facilities such as camp kitchen, barbecues, laundry, kiosk and accessible amenities. It is positioned as a quiet, intimate park with easy access to cafés, restaurants and public transport, making it a popular choice for families, grey nomads and holidaymakers seeking a coastal stay on the Gold Coast.

A charge from “Ocean Beach Tourist” or “Ocean Beach Tourist Park” on a card statement typically relates to a booking for accommodation at the park—this may be for a cabin, powered site, or similar stay, and can cover deposits, balance payments, or changes to an existing reservation. Depending on the booking terms, the park may take payment at the time of booking, at check‑in, or process additional charges for extra nights, extra guests, late checkout, or equipment hire. In some cases you might see a pre‑authorisation or temporary hold when a card is used to guarantee the booking or for incidentals, which is later released.

If you don’t immediately recognise a charge, start by checking confirmation emails from Gold Coast Tourist Parks or from any third‑party booking platform you used, looking for dates that match the transaction. You can also compare the amount and transaction date with your arrival/departure dates or any changes you made to your stay. For further clarification, guests can contact the park directly via the phone number or email listed on the Gold Coast Tourist Parks website, quoting their booking reference and the last four digits of the card. If the charge still appears incorrect after speaking with the park, you can then contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction, providing copies of booking confirmations and any correspondence with the park.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “Ocean Beach Tourist” on my card statement?

This descriptor is used for payments to Ocean Beach Tourist Park in Miami on the Gold Coast. The charge usually corresponds to a booking for a cabin or site, a deposit, a balance payment, or an adjustment (such as extra nights or guests) processed by the park or Gold Coast Tourist Parks around your stay dates.

Does Ocean Beach Tourist Park take a deposit or charge in advance when I book?

Yes. Depending on the rate and channel you book through, the park may charge a deposit or full prepayment at the time of booking. For example, peak‑period or special offers may be prepaid, while standard bookings might require a deposit with the balance payable closer to arrival or at check‑in. The exact rules are shown in your booking confirmation from Gold Coast Tourist Parks or your travel agent.

Can Ocean Beach Tourist Park place a temporary hold or pre‑authorisation on my card?

The park may place a temporary pre‑authorisation or hold on your card when you check in or when you book to secure the reservation or cover incidentals. This amount is not a final charge and is usually released automatically by your bank after several days if no additional fees are applied. The timing of the release depends on your card issuer.

How can I cancel or change my booking at Ocean Beach Tourist Park and avoid extra charges?

To cancel or modify a reservation, contact Ocean Beach Tourist Park or Gold Coast Tourist Parks using the contact details in your confirmation email, or manage your booking through the same website or agency you originally used. Be sure to check the cancellation policy—some discounted or peak‑season rates may be non‑refundable or carry fees if you cancel or change dates within a certain window before arrival.

How do I request a refund or query an incorrect charge from Ocean Beach Tourist Park?

First, gather your booking confirmation, receipts and a screenshot of the card transaction. Then contact the park directly by phone or email, quoting your booking reference and explaining the discrepancy (for example, double charge, incorrect number of nights or guests). If the park agrees a refund is due, it will typically be processed back to the original card. If you cannot resolve the issue, contact your bank or card issuer with your documentation to raise a formal dispute.

What are typical amounts I might see charged by Ocean Beach Tourist Park?

Common amounts correspond to nightly site or cabin rates multiplied by the number of nights, plus any extras such as additional guests, late checkout or equipment hire. Smaller charges may represent deposits or adjustments, while larger single charges usually reflect full payment for an extended stay or multiple cabins/sites on one booking.

How can I verify that a charge from Ocean Beach Tourist Park is legitimate?

Match the charge date and amount against your stay dates and your booking confirmation from Gold Coast Tourist Parks or any third‑party site you booked through. Also check whether family members or travelling companions used your card to pay at the park. If you still don’t recognise it, call or email the park with your name, stay dates and the last four digits of your card so they can confirm whether a transaction is linked to your booking.

How can I contact Ocean Beach Tourist Park about a billing or booking question?

You can find up‑to‑date contact details for Ocean Beach Tourist Park, including phone numbers and the ocean@gctp.com.au email address, on the Gold Coast Tourist Parks website under the Ocean Beach Tourist Park contact section.
