Queensland’s Amusing Surfer’s Paradise and Theme Park

Whoever coined the phrase “best of both worlds”, I bet that person went to the Gold Coast in Australia and found Surfer’s Paradise because that is simply the best way to describe this amazing part of Queensland. Upon arrival, you definitely feel that you’ve stepped foot in a paradise because regardless of your preference, whether you are a beach bum, a thrill seeker, a nature lover, or a city girl, Surfer’s Paradise will have something to offer you, and in abundance at that!

Surfer's Paradise Coastline

Paradise in Australia

Despite what the name suggests, this place isn’t just for surfers. In fact, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Australia for both foreigners and locals alike especially during the holidays because of the wide array of activities that everybody can enjoy!

First and foremost, the obvious thing to expect here is the beautiful coast and clear blue waters that every beach bum dreams of. Here you can just relax and enjoy the cool breeze with the warm sun and get sun kissed while basking in the peacefulness of the beach. Otherwise, if it is surf season which usually takes place during March, you can also ride the waves or if you’re lucky enough, catch the annual Quicksilver Pro-Surfing competition! But the best part about Surfer’s Paradise is, if you eventually decide that you’re done soaking in the sun for the day, just get up, dust off the sand from your body, and even just in your bikinis you can just cross the street and enjoy the shops, restaurants, galleries, and night markets that surround the area.

More to the Beach

When you’ve had your R&R and decide that you want to experience a bit more thrill, so much more exciting activities both inside and outside the water are available to get your heartbeats racing! You can even take bus rides to the nearest amusement parks that have some of the most exhilarating rides and give you the most interesting experiences while Australia’s wildlife join you. And when you get back at the end of the day, why not enjoy a couple of cocktails and meet new people in the fun and hip nightlife of the Gold Coast? Enjoy the music, dance all night, and have some more fun.

I'm Phoebe, a writer who lives in the bustling city of Manila in the Philippines. Apart from staying in this archipelagic country with various interesting beaches, mountains and plains, hey,I still want to travel the world. I was lucky to visit a few Asian countries. I found the (very!) best egg tarts I've ever tasted in Jordan, Kowloon; fell truly in-love with Thailand's serenity and Phuket's seascape; visited Singapore three times and finding out new interesting places each time; and flew at 72 meters above sea level in Sentosa's Zipline. With these few trips, it fueled me to achieve more travels in the next few years. I dreamt to travel farther and wider across the globe, with the promise of setting foot on Paris before I die. I'm not afraid to travel alone. And I'm not afraid to get lost, that is part of the journey. I can walk all day and night exploring the city, the culture and relish the different delicacies. With travelling, there is much languages to learn, cultures to understand, people to know, and I am ready for that. These all shows the risk-taker in me. Apart from jumping to different places, I love to work and to write (wherein working and writing does not make any difference to me). I take opportunities as they come, with the fear that it will never come again. With that said, I am very eager to take part on each of your journeys and share whatever experiences and knowledge I have to help each of you (our readers) have a trip that you cannot forget. Cheers!
