Broadbeach
Situated between Surfers Paradise and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach is one of the most popular suburbs of the Gold Coast, especially with holidaymakers. Broadbeach has everything you need plus more, including the largest shopping centre on the Coast and one of the largest in Queensland, Pacific Fair. The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre and Conrad Jupiters Casino are major drawcards to the area. Situated right on the beach, Broadbeach is home to a large selection of restaurants, bars and live music including the annual Blues on Broadbeach festival. Kurrawa Beach was the home of the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships for 11 years before it was moved in 2007 to Scarborough Beach in Perth, Western Australia.
Residential
From a beachside unit to a multi-million dollar penthouse or luxury waterfront home, once again Broadbeach has it all.
Shopping
It may not be Surfers Paradise but Broadbeach should definitely be called “Shoppers Paradise”. Pacific Fair is the largest shopping centre on the Gold Coast, home to large department stores such as Myer, Target and K-Mart and many specialty stores. The Oasis Shopping Centre is a monorail ride from Conrad Jupiters Casino which also has many specialty stores. Boutique shops can be found under many of the modern high rises including, The Phoencian and the new Aria building, not to mention the Broadbeach Mall itself. Just next to Kurrawa Surf Club the Broadbeach Arts and Crafts markets operates every month on the first and third Sunday.
