The development of Surfers Paradise started in the 1950s and 1960s, with the beginnings of surf culture.

With Brisbane just a short drive to the north, Surfers Paradise is the perfect choice for a laid-back beach holiday with the kids, or action-packed watersports break with a group of friends.

Surfers Paradise days out, both on and off the beach
Most people come to Surfers Paradise for the 3km stretch of golden sand. Although there's plenty of space for everyone, the central sections can get crowded. For a quieter experience, head south to part of the beach bordering Burleigh Head Park, or north beyond SeaWorld. If you want to get a little more active between lying on the sands or paddling in the waves, there are lots of watersports on offer, from high-adrenaline jet skiing or parasailing through to gentler pursuits such as kayaking and paddleboarding. And if you're a complete beginner, not to worry – tuition and equipment hire is widely available.
Away from the beach, there are plenty of other things to do in Surfers Paradise. Take a trip up to the 77th floor of Skypoint's observation deck, where you can enjoy 360-degree panoramas of Surfers Paradise. If you're feeling brave, book a space on the SkyPoint Climb experience to be roped onto the side of the building and climb up the exterior to 270m above ground. Get your breath back after your climb with a visit to the Gold Coast Botanic Gardens in Benowa to relax amid elegant rose gardens, local plants, and butterfly gardens.
