SURFERS PARADISE
GET TO KNOW
THE AREA
There’s a reason this beachfront strip attracts an incredible number of visitors each day. Its well-earned reputation for being the Gold Coast’s premier party town, combined with the sun-drenched beach, makes Surfers Paradise one of Queensland’s top destinations. But stop for a moment and you will see that Surfers Paradise works as well for families as it does for 20-somethings.
Lifestyle
Sun-up to sun-down, Surfers Paradise loves to show off. Its towering skyline hugs the famed stretch of beach and the streets offer a profusion of eateries, cafés, bars and nightclubs. Needless to say, Surfers Paradise has a hectic social calendar, but it does little to detract from its laid-back vibe which comes with a hint of cosmopolitan glamour.
Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise Boulevard and the surrounding streets cater well to holidaymakers, from high-end retailers to beachfront markets, and fine dining establishments to hole-in-the-wall eateries. When it comes to entertainment venues and activities, the choices are endless. But no place draws a crowd quite like the beach, with its incredible stretch of sand, surf culture and annual events.
