Dawn on Surfers Paradise beach

Watching the sun rise over the Pacific Ocean is something most Australians take for granted, but the early morning surf on the gorgeous Surfers Paradise beach is something pretty special. If you can bear to set your alarm early enough for a view like this, it's well worth the show. This image also captures the iconic Surfers Paradise sign, no holiday to Surfers is complete without a shot underneath this arch.
