Why it's worth checking out
Castaway Coffee Bar sits on the Esplanade in Surfers Paradise, right by the beachfront in the heart of the Gold Coast's most famous precinct. A much-loved coffee bar, it makes the most of its lovely location — combining quality coffee and casual fare with an easygoing, beachfront atmosphere, the kind of relaxed spot perfect for a cup with the beach close by.
The appeal is that combination of quality coffee, casual cafe fare and a brilliant beachfront location, ideal for a morning coffee, a casual bite or a relaxed pause while strolling the Surfers foreshore. With the beach right there, it's a natural spot for a coffee with a view, and Castaway has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,800 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront coffee spot gets busy on weekend mornings and over holidays, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a casual bite by the beach, it's often just a matter of dropping in along the Surfers Esplanade.
