Surfers Paradise Travel Information

Surfers Paradise Information

Arguably one of the nation's most popular holiday destinations. Surfers Paradise is vibrant, alive and legendary. A multitude of world-class attractions and miles of stunning coastlines mean there's something for everyone, every week, in this glitter strip. Enjoy anything from relaxed beachside cinema and beachfront markets, to the fever-pitched action of the SuperGP and the local New Year's Eve celebrations.

For lovers of the finer things in life, (shopping and eating!), Surfers will be sure to please. The area is a major shopping and dining precinct, with exclusive international and Australian fashion labels including Louis Vuitton, Prada and Gucci sitting alongside duty-free shopping outlets and souvenir stores. If you'd prefer to be at the beach during the day, then don't think you'll miss out on shopping! The Surfers Paradise beachfront night markets are on every Wednesday and Friday evenings, and you'll find late night shopping seven days a week.

Surfers Paradise is a place where you can truly enjoy the outdoors, and you'll be sure to see bronzed Aussie surfers wander with their surfboards down the main street, families frolicking in the surf and couples sitting at al fresco cafés, at any time of day. But the excitement doesn't end when the sun goes down, in fact it only serves to heat up further! With more than 31 nightclubs, bars and pubs open late each night, you can easily choose to burn the candle at both ends.
