Surfers Paradise is part of Gold Coast as a district, which is a turbulent major city in Queensland on the southeast coast of Australia with a population of almost half a million.

Surfers Paradise is not only a paradise spot for surfers, but also for all sun-seekers and fans of almost never-ending, gorgeous sandy beaches.

Free time fun in Surfers Paradise

Set against a grand skyline of ultra-modern skyscrapers stretches the fine sandy beach of Surfers Paradise, many areas of which are patrolled by lifeguards during the day. As inviting as the brilliant blue and turquoise of the Pacific Ocean beckons, there are a few facts to consider when swimming.

In addition to adequate, high-potency sun protection, be especially aware of the strong currents in Surfers Paradise, which can drive inexperienced swimmers out to sea.

For example, a red and yellow flag indicates that there is no danger whatsoever when swimming, as opposed to a yellow where only experienced swimmers should venture into the water. With a red flag, swimming is even prohibited and a red and white flag indicates that sharks have been spotted.

If you follow these instructions, nothing will stand in the way of your swimming pleasure. But even apart from summer, sun, beach and sea, Surfers Paradise has a lot more to offer.
