Surfers Paradise Beach

Highlight • Beach

Surfers Paradise Beach is a broad stretch of sand that faces directly onto the Coral Sea, with consistent surf and wide coastal views. The beach runs alongside the high-rise skyline, creating one of the Gold Coast’s most recognisable scenes. Swimming is safest between the red and yellow flags where lifeguards patrol. Conditions can change with swell and wind, and rips are present at times.

Kurrawa Beach

Highlight • Beach

This long sandy beach is a great pick on a summer day for sunbathing, swimming, and surfing, and it has lifeguards on duty with a nearby park. It is a well-patrolled area due to dangerous riptides and rough, open-ocean waves. Keep in mind that swimmers should always stay between the red and yellow flags for their safety. The sand is white, soft, and clean, making walks along the shore enjoyable.

Mick Schamburg Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

A short, steep walk up the hill at Mick Schamburg Park leads to a lookout that offers reaching views both north towards Surfers Paradise and south towards Burleigh Heads and Coolangatta. One of the lookouts even has a telescope. This park is an excellent place for a stroll along the Gold Coast Oceanway, beach day, or a relaxing picnic. Parking for Mick Schamburg Park is in the Kelly Avenue car park.

Gold Coast Oceanway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Gold Coast Oceanway is a paved coastal path that runs parallel to the beach, linking suburbs along the shoreline. This section near Surfers Paradise follows the edge of the sand, offering uninterrupted ocean views with the skyline rising behind you. The wide, sealed path is shared by walkers, runners and cyclists, so keep left and stay aware of faster traffic. Shade is limited along exposed stretches, making early morning or late afternoon a more comfortable time to walk.

30.0 km

Narrow Neck Reserve

Highlight • Beach

Narrow Neck Reserve sits between Surfers Paradise and Main Beach, where the coastline opens into a broad stretch of sand backed by dunes and parkland. From Esplanade, you can see the Narrow Neck artificial reef extending into the ocean, designed to improve surf conditions and help protect the shoreline from erosion. The reserve includes open grassy areas, picnic spots and direct beach access.
