Surfers Paradise 

Overview
Bookmark

Over the past fifty years, Surfers Paradise has become famous as Australia's most popular holiday destination. Surfers Paradise has everything for all holiday makers.

A huge choice of accommodation from five-star hotels & resorts to backpacker hostels, Surfers caters for all the different tastes and budgets of its tens of thousands of tourists that inundate this holiday mecca each month.

The streets and surrounds of Surfers are jampacked with activities, entertainment and fun everywhere you turn. Activities include bungee jumping, motorbike tours, seaplane flights and surfing lessons. Surfers Paradise and its surrounds are renowned for fine dining, fantastic shopping and busy nightlife.

Stroll down Cavill Avenue, with the Paradise Centre on one side and an array of eateries, nightclubs, boutique shops and even Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum, on the other. Orchid Avenue, just off Cavill Avenue boasts many nightclubs, adult bars and themed venues. Shop also at Chevron Renaissance, the Raptis Plaza and the Dolphin Arcade.

Chevron Island across the river from central Surfers, is a residential island, but offers cafes and pastry shops and links Surfers Paradise to the more industrial Bundall area. MacIntosh Island to the north is pleasant with walking tracks and barbecues on the banks of the Nerang River. There is sheltered swimming at MacIntosh Island and Budds Beach. Surfers Paradise Main Beach is a patrolled beach making this stretch of coastline perfect for families also.

Coincide your Surfers Paradise visit with the thrills and racing spills of the annual Honda Indy in October or chance upon one of the many street parades or performances in the centre of Surfers. There is always something happening all year round.

A sunny sub-tropical climate and a year-round festive atmosphere combine to make Surfers Paradise one of Queensland's top tourist holiday destinations.
