La Playa Beach and Eats

La Playa Beach and Eats sits on Cavill Avenue at the beating heart of Surfers Paradise, right by the beachfront. A relaxed restaurant and bar with a beach-club feel, it's perfectly placed to make the most of its prime location — just steps from the sand and the buzz of the Gold Coast's most famous precinct.

The appeal is that combination of a breezy, beachside atmosphere and crowd-pleasing food and drinks, ideal for a casual meal, cocktails or soaking up the Surfers energy with the ocean right there. It captures the sunny, holiday mood of the Gold Coast perfectly, drawing both visitors and locals.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 2,300 reviews, it's clearly keeping its crowd happy. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront venue fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a spot with the best of the beachfront atmosphere, dining with a group, or visiting in peak season.
