Why it's worth checking out

COAST sits on the Esplanade in Surfers Paradise, in the Ocean by Meriton building right by the beach in the Gold Coast's most famous holiday hub. A much-loved restaurant, it makes the most of its prime beachfront position — combining quality food and good drinks with a relaxed, stylish setting and a fantastic location overlooking the sand and surf.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and an unbeatable beachfront Surfers location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a special dinner, a meal with friends or drinks with a sea view. The gorgeous beachfront setting and a quality food-and-drinks offering make it a real draw, and COAST has clearly won over both locals and the many visitors to Surfers.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 660 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront restaurant fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table with a beach view in Surfers Paradise.
