Food Scene

Huge variety of niche coffee shops as well as chains like Coffee Club & Starbucks. "The Kitchens" is a new section with fresh veg, meat, fish as well as more options for food such as Sushi, Italian, Betty's burgers, Tepinyaki and various pop up stalls. On the other end of Ron Penhaligan Way, The Lott is a great little coffee shop open for breakfast and all day menu. Next to that is a very popular Chinese and behind, off the street, a fantastic Thai. Remember lots of places now offer Uber Eats. Our favourite Italian is "Spaghetti & Jazz" and open nightly except Mondays. They do have take-away authentic pizzas but if you have time to sit in the restaurant, there is live music - Jazz!

Drinks & Nightlife

Many clubs and restaurants. Always buzzing so worth walking around. One of our favourites is Moo Moo's. Great steaks! Further down the highway to Nobby's beach, Hellenika has great food but can be noisy due to popularity. Both make a great Caprioska! Further down at Burleigh, Justin Lane is a very popular Pizza restaurant - great toppings and always busy.

Sightseeing

take a lift up to the top and see the coast from the iconic "deck". Worth googling to check charges and opening times before you go. Whilst in Surfer's, you are close to Cavill Avenue for tourist shopping and can catch the Aquaduck which begins in Surfers and goes on road and river. SeaWorld is nearby, as is the Versace hotel from "I'm a Celebrity". The beaches from Miami to Surfer's are golden and worth a walk along. Start at Miami Surf Club and walk all the way up towards the Q1 - largest building you can see with a point.

Want to hold a Koala, feed a Kangaroo, shake hands with an Alligator, shear a Sheep, see the most amazing bird show? then head to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Take the train around the park and afterwards walk to Elephant Rock and Currumbin RSL, sit on the balcony and enjoy the view up to Surfers and down to Tweed Heads in NSW.

Parks & Nature

Drive up, with caution, the steep Springbrook road to the top and follow signs for short and longer walking trails. Waterfalls and views of the Gold Coast for the walking enthusiast or someone who just wants to see a bit of greenery and forest. If you just want a jog, go out of Banff Court and start running! or head to Miami Beach and follow everyone else left to Surfers and right to Burleigh.

Arts & Culture

The Mudgeeraba History Centre is small so won't take long to look around. Worth googling first to decide if you want to go. The Arts Centre has different plays/musicals/theatre/ballet/comedy and you can often get last minute seats. We also recommend the Robina Library if you are looking for something particular or feel free to borrow from our own book collection.

There are literally tons of stand up paddle boarding places along our coast from Surfers to Kirra so google your favourite location. Palm Beach is beautiful and recommend the "pirate park". Walk just behind it through the forest and you'll come to a little stretch of beach where you can swim out to a mini island toward the end of the day when the tide is low. Just around the corner away from the pirate park under the bridge and you'll hit another quiet spot with paddle boarders and kayaks etc
