A very impressive beach! Beautiful white sand, big waves and just a few metres away are Australia's tallest skyscrapers. A very special atmosphere. It gives you something of a "Miami feeling"

A pleasant beach with several access points, surfing and swimming areas, and patrolling life guards. Dogs are allowed on leash on the beach, but at least 200m away from the flagged swimming areas.

A really nice beach, which wasn't too crowded when I visited in the evening, and was great for walking. The waves were too close to the shore to be optimal for surfing or bodyboarding, but it would be really nice for swimming too if you go there earlier in the day. Some sections of the beach have lots of shells, which are very pretty, but could be sharp, so be mindful of where you're stepping. I also noticed that many of the stones on the shore had very unusual textures or colours which was very interesting. This beach is absolutely a great place to visit if you're in the area.

Our day trip to the Gold Coast was the classic "tourist experience". We were pleasantly surprised at how the area has changed. Broadbeach Boulevard was interesting to walk along. The beaches have dune plantings now and the nature strips have been landscaped. The Gold Coast is still a little quirky with the "Surfers Paradise Beach" sign. The Pink Poodle sign is now heritage listed. We saw a fabulous teal-coloured Austin A40 car and we popped into the The Royal Queensland Art Society Gold Coast gallery. The beach was not overcrowded and the water was the perfect temperature and ideal for swimming.
