Summer on the beach: Where to Chill

The Gold Coast, in recent years, has become the most opted destination for tourists all over the world. It has some of the most beautiful and stunning beaches in the world - such as Surfers' Paradise, The Spit, Main Beach, Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach, South Stradbroke and Nobby Beach.


Surfers Paradise might be where gay and lesbian visitors head for when they hit the Gold Coast with their boards and beach gear. But locals looking for a place to paddle, surf, swim, watch sexy surfers, or just  to chill with friends head for Main Beach.  It's opposite  the exciting Tedder Avenue precinct for casual and fine dining, fashion and gift shopping.
