Surfer Paradise gives meaning by its name - proven as the best place for surfing with ideal waves. Located in Queensland, the sunshine state, Surfer Paradise is crowded by modern hotels, ports, ships, and ppl of course. Also, the beach is so beautiful to explore for other activities like sunbathing, swimming and diving.
Okay, so I'm biased. I have lived here all my life yet even as a local I like to "holiday" here at home. If you are a family, there are plenty of "family-orientated" activities to do here and not all of them cost alot of money.

I remember first rocking up to surfers and walking around the streets in Jeans and a long sleeved shirt. I felt so out of place like an outsider but then later on I poped on my boardies and changed my shirt and I was relaxed
