Why it's worth checking out
The Surfers Paradise Sign stands on the Esplanade at Surfers Paradise, the beating heart of the Gold Coast. With more than 1,300 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's one of the coast's most recognisable landmarks.
The appeal is the photo — the famous, colourful Surfers Paradise sign right by the beach, an iconic spot for a snap that says you've been to the Gold Coast. It's a free, easygoing stop, perfectly placed to combine with the famous beach, the esplanade and the bustling Surfers Paradise scene.
The surrounding precinct and beach get busy, especially on weekends, in holiday periods and around events. Bring sun protection, and enjoy this iconic Gold Coast landmark whenever you're passing through.
