After you've shown the waves (or the shops) who's boss, you'll find plenty of other worthwhile sights in Surfers Paradise. For a unique perspective, visit the Q1 building's SkyPoint Observation Deck, a 230-metre-high lookout that offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. The animal shows and marine life exhibits at Sea World are a big hit with families, and you can also find roller coasters, water rides and other entertainment throughout the park. Or you could get a closer look at local plant life at the Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens, where you'll find 31 hectares of flora.
They weren't fooling around when they called it Surfers Paradise – the breaks here are just as gnarly as you're likely to find in these parts. The sandy, 3 km Surfers Paradise Beach is the place to be for surfers, and you can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, jogging and volleyball here, too. The beach also hosts a regular open-air market throughout the week. And if it's shopping you're looking for, you're in luck – the central pedestrian mall on Cavill Avenue is home to numerous shops, as well as cafes, nightclubs and dining.
Although Surfers Paradise has a humid subtropical climate, you'll find that the pleasant, sunny weather doesn't change too much throughout the year. Summers are on the hot side, with average temperatures between 22 and 29 degrees in January and February. Winters are somewhat cooler, usually ranging between 12 and 22 degrees in July and August. Rain is common throughout the year, with the bulk of the area's precipitation falling between November and June. Pleasant and popular throughout the year, you can still find a few killer deals on off-season Surfers Paradise vacation rentals during the (somewhat) slower winter months.
