When many people go on a Gold Coast Holiday, they stay in Surfers Paradise. Why not try Broadbeach? A stylish suburb just south of Surfers, Broadbeach has its own identity when compared to its louder northern cousin. Whilst it still has the beauty of the stunning golden beach that stretches along the coast and the impressive high rise apartment buildings, Broadbeach is often thought of as the more 'cultured' of the two suburbs.

When many people go on a Gold Coast Holiday, they stay in Surfers Paradise. Why not try Broadbeach? A stylish suburb just south of Surfers, Broadbeach has its own identity when compared to its louder northern cousin. Whilst it still has the beauty of the stunning golden beach that stretches along the coast and the impressive high rise apartment buildings, Broadbeach is often thought of as the more 'cultured' of the two suburbs.

Both locals and holiday makers all agree that Broadbeach is the perfect place to hang out. With a great combination of sun, sand, shopping and a large variety of accommodation to choose from - you can't go wrong! To make it even better, the surf at Broadbeach is a favourite amongst surfers. Additionally, there are two surf clubs in the area, such as the Kurrawa Surf Club, with a fully licensed Bistro and an extensive food and drinks menu at very affordable prices.
