Find the right hotel
What is the best area to stay in Surfers Paradise?
Cavill Avenue: The epicentre of Surfers Paradise, Cavill Avenue is the famous strip that ends with Cavill Mall and the Surfers Paradise sign. Loaded with dining, drinking and tourist attractions, this is a street that never sleeps.
Broadbeach: While not technically Surfers Paradise, the city’s southern neighbour offers a slightly less rambunctious experience, while still being within striking distance of the lively centre.
Main Beach: Likewise, Main Beach is to the north of Surfers Paradise proper, and once again offers a break from the craziness of Cavill Avenue. Home to Sea World and some truly upscale accommodation, this is the perfect spot for tourists looking to treat themselves.
