GET TO KNOW SURFERS PARADISE Energetic, enthusiastic, electric, eclectic, these are just some of the words that sum up the social scene that Surfers Paradise was built on. Since the days of the original Surfers Paradise Hotel, Surfers has always been an entertainment playground famous for its world-class nightlife venues, international events, and pumping atmosphere. Annually, Surfers Paradise hosts a series of great events including prestigious Surf Life Saving competitions, the Supercars Vodafone Gold Coast 600 race and free artistic and cultural community events throughout the precinct, including the Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets operating every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights. The new foreshore is bustling throughout the day with walkers, cyclists and skateboarders taking advantage of this beachfront boulevard vista overlooking the surf and sand. Like the Surfers Paradise of yesteryear, beachside shopping, dining, bars and clubs continually offer the complete holiday experience all in one compact destination package.
