Surfers Paradise Beach, Surfers Paradise
The quintessential Gold Coast beach: acres of crisp, white sand wedged between the Pacific Ocean on one side and towering skyscrapers on the other. It’s not actually the best surfing beach on the coast — save that for elsewhere — but it’s a great place to swim, relax and people-watch. Arrive in the morning as the sun is rising over the ocean — things get a little gloomy in the afternoon when the high-rises cast shadows across the beach.
