Surfers Paradise Beach is located on the Gold Coast of Australia. It is an important area of the Gold Coast. Known as "Miami of the Southern Hemisphere", it is a huge sandy coast. 1. Overview of attractions One of Australia's most famous beaches, attracting surfers from all over the world. The Gold Coast is close to the Pacific Ocean and has 75 kilometers of beaches. It is a huge sandy coast. The coastline here is straight and wide, the shoreline is very shallow, and the waves are very large, which is very suitable for various water sports such as surfing. Among them, the continuous beach is 42 kilometers long. There is a reef at the corner of the turning cliff. Layers of waves rush over from the reef cliff, surging forward, and the height is 2-3 meters. If the sea is stormy, the waves will roar. The turbulent waves are set off, and its splendid sight is amazing. 2. Leisure sports There are many entertainment facilities on the beach, so tourists will not be bored. The jet boat located in Apple Park is suitable for those who like to experience thrilling sports. The speed boat will depart from Surfers Paradise to WaveBreak Island every day, bringing the experiencer a 360-degree flip experience. The whole journey takes about 55 minutes. 3.7D cinema Have only heard of 3D cinema, but never heard of 7D? The 7D Cinema on Trickett Street is very popular with 10 scenes to choose from. 4. Shopping Tired of blue sky and white clouds, silver beach, you can also enjoy shopping. Not far from the promenade near the beach, shopping malls such as ParadiseCentre, HarbourTownOutletShoppingCenter and PacificFairShoppingCenter are gathered in the business district, which can be reached in a few minutes' walk. 5. Dining The restaurants here serve Australian local food, Indian food, Mexican food, Japanese food and Chinese food, and the rich choices will make you dazzled. If you like Italian food, you can go to Nicolinis Pizzeria, which serves delicious pizza, but remember to book in advance on Friday and weekend nights! The first floor of TheMarkBuilding is a famous nightclub. Come to the dance floor to have fun, and it is open until 5:00 in the morning.

An hour of tour was so relaxing. Crossing from land to water and vice versa was fascinating. Tour guides were fun and informative. Registration was quick, our tickets were already printed by staff before we arrived and didn't need any more details or IDs. The given time frame was also followed. Overall, very good!

[Scenery] One of the most beautiful beaches on the Gold Coast! [Fun] Lots of people surfing 🏄🏻‍♀️🏄🏻‍♂️ and even watch the sunrise. [Value] Plenty of apartment-style hotels nearby, so you can choose the right budget for your budget. A comfortable stay here for three to five days, or even a week or two.
