Surfers Paradise Beach, Gold Coast

A little overrated, with tourists and rowdy kids. But still beautiful nonetheless of you look past that. Having had a few days of being here, we’ve seen quite a few faces of the beach, from quiet mornings to the Wednesday evening markets and even a fireworks display from a barge with a full moon in the sky.

I liked the beach every much.. it will be crowded over weekend.

Beautiful and very crowded beach, with some great swimming and surfing spots along the lengthy stretch of coastline. There's a patrolled section for swimming in-between the flags and the beach is located very close to the main shops and restaurants. No dogs allowed on the beach unfortunately and it can get very crowded, especially on weekends. A few sculptures and surfboard displays around too.

Amazing beach this. It’s a big long huge beach with lovely white golden sand and the water is a perfect temperature. Some people swim, some surf, some bring their kids for a play, some take photos of the gorgeous city-meets-ocean skyline, and some just sit and relax and enjoy the beach. I’m from NSW and would have to say this beach is better than any beach I’ve been to in NSW. Whether it’s the warmer water, or nicer sand, or availability of parking, or the skyline, or cleaner than average bathrooms, this beach has it all.

What is there not to like about Surfers Paradise Beach? It's an iconic part of what Surfers is renowned for, endless white sand & blue crystal clear water with turbulent surf. Great place for people watching, lazing around, walking , partying, playing, or just chilling out. Oh & the sunsets are spectacular too!
