Named after Jim Cavill, the original hotellier who effectively gave birth to Surfers Paradise tourism, Cavill Avenue, and Cavill Mall are the focal point of the Gold Coast. Lined with shops, nightclubs, bars, and fast food outlets, the street isn't particularly attractive (as far as streets go), but there's lots of surf art and regular live music performances. The arcades and streets nearby are the real heart of Surfers Paradise, with fantastic (cheap) Asian food, surfboard shops, tattoo parlours, T-Shirt emporiums and nightclub doors.
