Surfers Paradise is a large commercial
centre set on the Gold Coast.
Huge skyscrapers tower above the wonderful beaches, and
make up part of the lively and modern town. There are plenty
of wonderful shopping
arcades around Surfers Paradise, as well as a fantastic
nightlife and some fun attractions. |
|
Surfers Paradise offers an attractive
beachfront which is lined by a number of cafes and restaurants,
and plenty of accommodation. The beach stretches all along
the Gold Coast and beyond, with many of the beaches patrolled.

From Surfers Paradise Main Beach you
can also hire water equipment, if you want some excitement
in the sea. Options available include surf boards, wake
boards, and body boards, with jet ski hire available on
the Broadwater.
|
There are plenty of things to do around the Surfers
Paradise area. Other than relaxing on the fabulous beaches and
experiencing a range of exhilarating watersports, you can also
play a few games of the ever popular beach volleyball. Beach volleyball
is also often played during the day on the Central Surfers Paradise
Beach. Head along to watch some great players, or have a go yourself.
If you prefer the water action but don't want
to get wet then you can join one of the fishing charters or whale
watching cruises. On dry land the excitement continues with bungy
jumping, mini golf and even a few swings at one of the stylish
and professional golf courses.
Surfers Paradise is also conveniently close to
the many theme parks in Queensland,
so you can continue to have fun all day long. (One good reason
to slow down on the drinks the night before.) Surfers Paradise
is also the venue of the Gold Coast Indy 300 Grand Prix Race,
which is held every year during late October.

Although surf is good at Surfers Paradise,
another popular attraction is its many nightclubs and bars.
Most of the bars and clubs are situated along Orchid Avenue,
with Cavill Avenue being the heart of the towns shopping
district, surrounded by numerous shopping arcades.

Many of the backpackers offer discounted entrance into the bars
or free drink vouchers, which is great. Even once you get there
the partying doesn't stop, with night long theme and just plain
party nights.
During the evening you may often see balloon artistry, buskers,
circus acts, living statues and street artists in Cavill Mall,
Surfers Paradise. All of the live performances are unique and
well worth watching.
If clubs and pubs aren't really your scene or
you just want a night off, then there are plenty of other options.
You can enjoy mini golf, ten pin bowling and video arcades, as
well as one of the live performances in the Gold Coast theatres
or cabaret restaurants. There are also free magic shows in the
Paradise Centre on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

There are plenty of places to eat
out in Surfers Paradise, both within the shopping area and club
area. There are also a selection of places at the Paradise Centre, which
was Surfers original hotel in 1936. Accommodation also isn't a problem
with plenty of backpackers
accommodation, as well as a number of apartments,
and hotels.
