Surfers Paradise PHOTO tour
With the warm Pacific Ocean on one side, the deep blue Nerang River on the other, and more shops, high rise resorts and attractions squeezed in between than probably any other peninsula in earth - Surfers Paradise is the undisputed tourist capital of Australia, and some would argue the world.
A mere 50 years ago 'Surfers' was a small beach resort typical of the Australian coast, but in the 21st century, the city is now the pulsing heart of one of the biggest tourism machines in the Southern Hemisphere.
Travel writers who have been to the furthest, darkest corners of the globe seem to hate the place because it is very commercial and gets very busy during peak holiday periods (Christmas and Easter), but it is an incredibly beautiful, safe, happy city with perfect weather and unlike many resort towns around the world, tourists are welcomed with big open arms, big Queensland smiles and big Queensland sunshine.
Surfers is home to many attractions, including everything from bungee jumping and mini ice skating to the Indy 300. There are also countless restaurants, night clubs and bars to spend the night. Holiday makers are attracted to the neon lights, endless high rise buildings, golden sand, sunny atmosphere and laid-back lifestyle. You can be comfortable in a tuxedo eating at a five star restaurant or walking down the street in your bathers.
But they don't call it 'Surfers Paradise' for nothing, so it's not surprising the main drawcard is the 150m wide stretch of sand that extends for almost 10km in each direction. The water has excellent waves for surfing and the beach is patrolled year round and it's safe to swim - so jump in.
