"Surfers Paradise, if they could afford it" Surfers Paradise by DSwede

Surfers Paradise Travel Guide: 171 reviews and 346 photos

While the beaches are wonderful, the surf near continuous, and the weather is wonderful, Surfers Paradise is quickly growing and upscaling to be cost prohibitive for the people it was named after.

That being said, it is a lovely area on the Gold Coast, about 35 minutes south of Brisbane.

My stay here consisted of walking the beach, the central area and spending several days on a houseboat.

Feel free to view my Australia page for more general thoughts.
