Why it's worth checking out
Mermaid Beach is one of the Gold Coast's loveliest beachside spots, on the central coast of Queensland. A strong 4.7 rating from 51 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved highlight.
The appeal is a gorgeous, patrolled surf beach — a beautiful stretch of golden sand and lovely surf, backed by the relaxed Mermaid Beach community, a genuine favourite for a swim, a surf, a stroll or simply soaking up the scenery. It's a lovely coastal highlight.
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.
