Travel guide – surfers paradise

Go back to travel guide home

Overview

Formerly a small coastal resort town, Surfer's Paradise has blossomed into the pulsating heart of the Queensland Gold Coast. Set on a Peninsula, about 50 miles (78km) from Brisbane, with the warm Pacific Ocean on one side and the deep blue Nerang River on the other, the town is considered to be the tourist capital of Australia. Visitors throng to the bright lights, shops, high rise resort hotels and attractions squeezed onto the finger of land that is surrounded by a 492-foot (150m) wide beach that stretches for almost 6 miles (10km) in each direction.

Climate

Straddling the Tropic of Capricorn, Queensland's climate is subtropical. From November to March humidity is generally high throughout the state, but sea breezes bring some relief along the coast. Brisbane in the south has a hot and humid climate, particularly in summer, but winter is mild and sunny with cool nights (July and August). The best time to visit the northern part of the state is from September to November. Tropical cyclones can occur in the north from November to April (mostly during January to March).
