Indy300 is definately an event and time of year when people with families should avoid Surfers Paradise like the plague due to the ADULT nature of this event.

If you have a family, I highly recommend that you stay more North, South or even more Inland of Surfers Paradise due to this event.

If you are attending this event, I highly recommend ...

Every year, the indy carnival is massive, the nightlife is great when indy week is on.

each night of the carnival, there is mr and mrs indy contests, and themed nights as well.

bring your suncream tho, it's hot most times it's on, but tends to rain out of the blue on sunday the race day in past years.
