1. Blues on Broadbeach

Reviewed By Thommo45 - Broadbeach, Australia
This has got to be the best time of year. So much atmosphere and so much music. The music is spread over many venues and they are all good bands and artists. It is not full on blues music which is good. There is a bit of rock, a bit of blues and a bit of most things plus lots of eating and drinking. There are thousands and thousands of people attend over 4 days but that just gives it more atmosphere. If you can’t get accommodation in Broadbeach maybe try Surfers Paradise or Main Beach which has the tram running to Broadbeach

What a beautiful beach! With the surf club on the doorstep and kids' play area not too far away, a walk on the beach was the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Life savers were on duty and the water was a beautiful blue, with gentle waves. Loved it!

This well maintained park is well used as it is beautifully maintained and spacious. So many families use it for picnics, walks, ball games and it also has a great playground for young to mid age lids. We took the grandkids with their skipping ropes and frisbees and they had a fabulous time. The adjoining Kurrawa Surf Club is available for snacks and coffee.

Gold Coast's famous Sunday beachside market, held at Broadbeach on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month (see also Coolangatta Art and Craft market and Burleigh Art and Craft market for other Sunday locations).

This is a perfect place by the sea, to just hangout, plenty of eateries to enjoy, lots of seating, basically a pedestrianised thoroughfare, jazzed up, we especially love coming here at night with a the lights, also it is no where as hectic as cavill mall.
