Broadbeach has long been a favourite Gold Coast destination for families and couples with its white sandy beaches, amazing ocean, this is regarded as one of the best beaches in the world, adjoining parklands and well tended playgrounds and picnic facilities. Located just a few kilometres south of Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach is somewhat quieter and has emerged as the Gold Coast's central dining hub with Broadbeach Mall and Surf Parade lined with trendy outdoor cafes and restaurants. Beachfront craft markets are held on the first and third Sunday of every month. At Broadbeach there is a different taste of the world to try on every corner.

One of the natural drawcards of Broadbeach is the magnificent stretch of beach. Patrolled by lifeguards, offering great surf and safe swimming, the beach is ideal for families and surfers alike.

If you want to mix a holiday of sun, surf and sand with some shopping, Broadbeach is for you. Lining the streets of Broadbeach are numerous boutiques and retail outlets. Just across the road and down the road from central Broadbeach is the popular Pacific Fair Shopping Centre offering more than 130 fashion and accessory stores.

If thrills and spills are more your style, from Broadbeach it is also easy to access the Gold Coast's major theme parks: Movie World, Dream World, Sea Word and Wet n Wild.

Broadbeach is also home to Jupiter's Casino. If gambling is not your thing, Jupiters is also well known for putting on world class shows.

Broadbeach offers a wonderful holiday experience that can be as casual and relaxed or as rerfined and energetic as you like.
