Surfers Paradise

Surfers Paradise is a huge commercial centre situated on the Australian Gold Coast. Here you will find majestic skyscrapers towering over pristine beaches. The town itself is bustling and very modern. There are sufficient shopping malls and arcades to keep you occupied for days and the nightlife and other attractions leave nothing to be desired either.

Surfers Paradise has a lovely beachfront where you'll find numerous restaurants and cafes. There's a wide choice of Surfers Paradise accommodation to suit all budget ranges as well. The beach stretches the full length of the Gold Coast and even further. Many of these beaches have the advantage of being patrolled.

On the main beach itself are numerous opportunities to rent equipment for water sports. Available options include wake boards, surf boards, body boards and even jet skis.

There's certainly a lot to do in the surrounding area. If simply relaxing on the beach or taking part in watersports doesn't interest you, why not join in an exciting game of beach volleyball? This game is often played during daytime on the central beach. And even if you don't want to play yourself, you could have lots of fun just watching some great players in action.

If you like water but you don't like to get wet, there's always the option of joining one of the numerous available whale watching cruises and fishing charters that depart regularly. And if you prefer to feel solid ground under your feet, but still would like some exercise, why not partake in a game of mini golf (or real golf for that matter)? For the more adventurous there's even the opportunity to go bungy jumping.

If you have been to the Surfers Park area before, you are no doubt aware of the numerous theme parks in the Queensland area. Here you can spend days filled with glorious fun with the whole family without having to get yourself wet!

For motor sport enthusiasts it's a good idea to visit the area during October, when the yearly Gold Coast Super GP event takes place. This is a very exciting event, looked forward to for the whole year, so don't miss it if you are in the area.

Of course the surfing at surfers paradise is great. If you are an avid surfer you should never visit the area without your surfboard. But it's after hours that the fun really starts in the numerous night clubs and bars lining the streets near the beaches. A favourite hangout spot, where the nightlife is specially hectic, is Orchid Avenue. Many of the clubs and even hostels in the area regularly offer discounted entrance fees and even free drink vouchers. There are regular theme parties as well, so the fun never stops.

If you are a family man and you don't feel like joining the nightlife in the bars and clubs, you can spend a very enjoyable evening just browsing the many shops in the Cavill Avenue area. Every night of the week you will also find a lot of street artists, circus acts and other entertainment in this part of town.

Surfers Paradise is thus not only a paradise for surfers, but for every single member of the family.
