Surfers Paradise : book your hotel

Surfers Paradise is Australia's most exuberant beach destination. It's a glittering strip of golden sand backed by a skyline of towers that catches the Queensland sun and throws it back across the Pacific with unmistakable confidence. The Gold Coast's beating heart, Surfers Paradise is a place of unashamed pleasure-seeking, where the surf rolls in reliably from the Coral Sea, the beach stretches for kilometres in each direction, the theme parks of the hinterland beckon families with world-class rides, and the restaurants and nightlife of Cavill Avenue and Broadbeach fill the evenings with exactly the kind of energy a beach city is supposed to have. Add the more sophisticated pleasures of Broadbeach's dining and casino precinct, the surf culture of neighbouring Coolangatta, and the wildlife encounters of the nearby hinterland, and the Gold Coast reveals itself as a destination with considerably more depth than its glittering surface suggests.

Surfers Paradise Beach itself is the centrepiece — a long, broad sweep of sand with reliable waves that accommodate everyone from nervous beginners to experienced surfers and the kind of open-sky Pacific horizon that makes an afternoon on the sand feel restorative. The SkyPoint Observation Deck on level 77 of Q1 Tower offers a 360-degree view across the Gold Coast, the hinterland ranges, and the ocean that contextualises the city's extraordinary scale and beauty in a single panoramic glance.
