Sun-up to sun-down, living in Surfers Paradise means immersing yourself in a place that loves to show off. Its towering skyline hugs the famed stretch of beach, and the streets offer a profusion of eateries, cafés, bars, and nightclubs. Needless to say, Surfers Paradise has a hectic social calendar, but it does little to detract from its laid-back vibe, which comes with a hint of cosmopolitan glamour. Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise Boulevard, and the surrounding streets cater well to holidaymakers, from high-end retailers to beachfront markets, and fine dining establishments to hole-in-the-wall eateries.
