Where:
Surfers Paradise, Goldcoast
Queensland, Australia
Last Visited:
Rob and Clare visited in 2003
Why Go:
Surfers Paradise is the vacation area less than a hour south of Brisbane. The beaches are long, and the weather great.
Highlights:
- Beaches: It is best to visit the beach in the morning, as later in the day the shadows from the high rise buildings will start to creep across the beach. Shopping: after the beach, you should be ready to do some shopping
- Nightlife: after the beaches and shopping, it is time to visit the numerous bars and restaurants.
Lowlights:
- High rise city: late afternoon the shadows are cast over the beaches.
- Lots of tourists
Eating & Drinking:
- Heaps to choose from. The Hard Rock Cafe is a landmark place to eat.
Other things you should know about:
- Surfers is a nice place to visit for a break if you are in the area, but there are plenty of nicer, more secluded beaches to be found along this coast.
