Paradise Point Parklands

Paradise Point Parklands stretch along The Esplanade at Paradise Point, on the northern Gold Coast near Hope Island and the Broadwater. A much-loved waterfront parkland, it's a lovely green space by the water — combining grassy lawns, picnic and barbecue areas, a popular playground and a foreshore walkway with beautiful Broadwater views, the kind of relaxed, family-friendly spot that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of a gorgeous waterfront setting and great family amenity: room to walk, picnic and relax, a playground for the kids, barbecue facilities and lovely views over the calm Broadwater. It's a beloved spot for a family day out, a picnic, a stroll or some time by the water, capturing the relaxed, water-focused lifestyle of the northern Gold Coast.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 260 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The parklands are free and open, but facilities and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection on a warm day and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a picnic, a play or some time by the water, you can generally just turn up and enjoy the Paradise Point Parklands.
