Why it's worth checking out
This lovely stretch of Gold Coast beach fronts Surfers Paradise, the iconic heart of the Gold Coast. A strong 4.7 rating from 394 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved spot.
The appeal is the classic Gold Coast beach experience — long golden sand, rolling surf and the famous Surfers Paradise skyline behind you, perfect for a swim, a surf, a sunbake or a stroll along the shore. It's the quintessential Gold Coast outing, right by the buzz of Surfers.
Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal patrols, and it gets very busy in holiday periods, so check current details and swim between the flags where patrolled. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
