Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Main Beach sits on the northern Gold Coast, just north of Surfers Paradise. A strong 4.7 rating from 96 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is a beautiful, patrolled stretch of golden sand — lovely surf and calm waters, a genuine Gold Coast highlight, perfect for a swim, a surf, a stroll or simply relaxing by the sea, with the stylish Tedder Avenue and the Spit close by. It's a lovely, family-friendly beach.
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.
