Relax on Surfers Paradise Beach

Stroll Surfers Paradise Esplanade
Opposite Surfers Paradise Beach, Surfers Paradise Esplanade offers a memorable walk or bike ride with the palm tree-lined sandy beach at your side and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Best enjoyed at sunset, The Esplanade has lots to see as you soak up the laid-back ambience, with the busy Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets to witness near the opening to Cavill Avenue on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights.
Visit Macintosh Island Park
Worth the walk from Surfers Paradise Esplanade, Macintosh Island Park is a public area for both locals and tourists where roving peacocks, running streams and dense trees set the scene for holiday relaxation. Take a walk through the paths, find the small cascading waterfalls and don’t forget a picnic to enjoy on the grass or in the shade.
Discover Chevron Renaissance
Chevron Renaissance is a leading shopping precinct in Surfers Paradise, well-known for its laneways and Italian piazza-inspired buildings. Airy and open with a lively atmosphere from morning to evening, Chevron Renaissance Shopping Centre is worth experiencing in Surfers Paradise over a slow walk, particularly at night when the nightlife scene takes over and the tall Mantra Towers light up above.

From Surfers Paradise Beach, step on to Cavill Avenue and take a direct stroll through this popular tourist hotspot, where tall palm trees, open-air cafes, surf shops, ice cream parlours and more offer lots to see and take in.
