Destination: Broadbeach

Broadbeach is home to many accommodation venues, entertainment centres, tourist attractions and shopping centres making it one of the Gold Coast's top spots for family fun in the sun.

With its wide, white sand, lifeguard patrolled beach, fronted by children friendly sub-tropical parks Broadbeach provides safe, cost free, family fun. The Kurrawa Surf Life Saving Club here is popular with both the locals and tourists as it's a great spot to sit in the sunshine with a cool beer and a plate of fish'n'chips.

And after the sun goes down and the kids are in bed the fun goes on — Walk across the road, or take the mono-rail, to the Gold Coast's Jupiters Casino with its giant entertainment complex featuring world class shows and every type of gambling from two-up to over 1,200 gaming machines and 70 table games.

Broadbeach is also home to the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre, showcasing hundreds of events and exhibitions each year.

Broadbeach has become the culinary mecca of the Gold Coast so take a stroll along the beautifully crafted, water feature enhanced, boardwalks and choose your alfresco restaurant, cafe, brasserie or cabaret restaurant with a wide range of cuisines including Japanese, Italian, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Singaporean and more. Meals are quite cheap by international standards with a cup of coffee costing around $2.50 and main meals depending on the venue from $12.00 to several hundreds of dollars at the top end.

Broadbeach offers extensive shopping opportunities with a vast range of local and International goods available — browse the beach front markets on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month in Kurrawa Park with the Friday night lantern lit markets held in the Broadbeach Mall from September through to May.

Enjoy the shopping delights of Pacific Fair, The Oasis Shopping Centre, The Phoenician and Niecon Plaza — again Broadbeach spoils you for choice — being only a couple of kilometres south of Surfers Paradise and just North of Burleigh Heads means you will not run out of exciting things to do — the list is almost endless — and of course a wide range of Broadbeach accommodation is available.
