Things to do in Surfers Paradise & Broadbeach
-
A
Adrenaline Park
Located a few blocks north of Cavill Ave, this park has everything to make your head spin and stomach churn. The most popular rides are the Sling Shot and aptly titled Vomatron. For traditionalists, there’s also a good old bungee jump with Bungy Australia.

QDeck
The 360-degree views of the Gold Coast from the observation level of QDeck are brilliant for gaining perspective and orientation. The deck is 230m high on the 77th level of Q1 Tower, and is accessed by one of the world’s fastest elevators. The Qbar has DJs on Friday and Saturday nights.

Moo Moo
A mecca for serious carnivores, Moo Moo's signature dish is a 1kg wagyu rump steak rubbed with spices, char-grilled until smoky, then roasted, and carved at the table. Less carnivorous diners will be happy with the seafood and pasta dishes on the menu.

Minus 5 Ice Lounge
Gimmicky but kinda fun if you don’t mind the cover charge, everything is made of ice at this bar: your glass, the seats and the vodka-stocked bar. There are even ice sculptures imported from Canada.

Central
DJs bust out smooth beats at Central way before the nightclubs open their doors. This lounge and cocktail bar with outdoor seating also offers a cheap lunch menu, though most prefer three courses of mojitos.

Surfers Sandbar
The ocean view gives this cafe, bar and restaurant the edge over most Surfers eateries. The menu gravitates towards burgers, beer-battered fish and chips, and light seafood meals, but forgo the rather impersonal indoor restaurant and dine outdoors.

A little south of Cavill Mall, this surf club sits directly on the beach. It's large and modern with zero intimacy, but the expansive ocean views go well with a coldie on a hot day.
