Why it's worth checking out
Broadbeach is one of the Gold Coast's most popular and beautiful beachside destinations. A strong 4.8 rating from 93 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine coastal highlight.
The appeal is a gorgeous, patrolled surf beach — a wide stretch of golden sand and lovely surf, backed by the buzzing Broadbeach precinct with its famous dining, shopping and the Convention Centre nearby, a genuine favourite for a swim, a surf, a stroll or simply soaking up the scenery. It's a must-visit stretch of the coast.
Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal facilities, so check current details and swim between the flags. Otherwise it's a free, family-friendly spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
