Beaches at The Spit will reopen at midnight tonight while beachfront carparks along the Gold Coast will reopen from this afternoon.
The Spit, Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta were closed ahead of Easter after large crowds flouted social distancing rules.
Both Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta were reopened last week.
But mayor Tom Tate said the move does not mean out-of-towners are welcome.
"This move primarily is really for locals to be able to come back to the beaches on the Gold Coast," he said.
"The 50-kilometre rules for driving to the Gold Coast should be adhered to strictly."
The State Government announced on the weekend that some stay-at-home restrictions were being eased, with just three new cases of COVID-19 confirmed overnight.
From midnight on Friday, outings for activities like family picnics and recreational drives within 50 kilometres of your home, will be allowed.
Calls for return of cafes and restaurants
While Gold Coast beaches were busy over the weekend, Cr Tate said social distancing measures have been successful.
"We've gone past Easter, [and over the] past couple of weeks … we turned back 15,000 people over that period," he said.
But Cr Tate also called for restrictions that have crippled the city's hospitality industry to be eased.
"I think the Prime Minister should really relax the rules regarding cafe and restaurants," he said.
"If you've got a 100-seat cafe and you can do the social distancing, I can't see why they can't gradually go back.
"Open a third of the restaurants and then gradually go back to the level where you can dine and meet people, with the social distancing between people."
Cr Tate said surf lifesaving patrols along beaches would continue, but the flags would remain down.
Police reinforce warnings
State disaster coordinator deputy commissioner Steve Gollschewski said while some restrictions were being eased, Queensland Police would still enforce the remaining measures.
"Outside the 50 kilometre radius, the same exemptions still apply," he said.
"People need to be very careful they abide by the social distancing regulations and restrictions — we will be enforcing that."
He said Queensland Police issued 140 infringement notices across the state over the weekend.
"We're seeing too many people still having parties, either street parties or in-house parties, against the restrictions," he said.
"That's really not acceptable, now is not the time to undo all the good that work that's been done."
