A beachfront suburb with an esplanade, parks and light rail.

Surfers Paradise is the Gold Coast’s best-known beachfront strip. The council’s Surfers Paradise Esplanade park at 60 The Esplanade has picnic tables, beach showers, toilets and a walking track. The G:link light rail runs through the main stretch of the suburb, and council event notices direct visitors to the Cavill Avenue stop. Paradise Waters Park, at Commodore Drive and Viking Court, offers a playground, picnic shelter and off-leash dog area.
