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!
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.
Everything you can wish for in a vacation can definitely be found in this paradise down-under. So when brainstorming on where to go on your next fun and exciting vacation, Gold Coast’s Surfer’s Paradise is a definite must-see destination that should be at the top of your list!
