This is the Tourist Beach of Gold Coast. I much prefer the southern GC beaches but this is still beautiful. You can walk forever on this beach and up the Northern end, near the breakwater you can bring your dog.

Coming from Penang with lots and lots of nice and warmth beaches, I have to say that this beach is wayyy different with the beach back home. The most obvious is that its very cold!

What a fantastic golden sand beach. This beach is perfect for all sun worshippers. Plenty of shops around for that little but of shopping I between sun bathing. Lots of places to eat. Highly recommend a visit here if your visiting Brisbane. Beautiful.

Very clean beaches. Loved the waves and how nice and warm the water was. At night along the foreshore, it becomes lit up with colourful lights and a night market every wed, fri and sunday nights.

This beach was amazing, clean and well supervised by lifeguards who were active in that the shouted instructions and advice to surfers and swimmers. The sand was a really nice texture, the sea had some amazing colours in it but watch out for those waves, they're big, strong and random, children and small people should be supervised at all times....
