Main Beach · Gold Coast

An upmarket island suburb between the ocean and the bay.

The Pacific on one side, the Gold Coast Broadwater on the other, and Tedder Avenue down the middle. Main Beach is the quieter, more grown-up neighbour to Surfers Paradise, a tram stop to the south.

Main Beach

Patrolled, wide, and rarely crowded. Proper Pacific surf, not a protected cove. One of the quieter stretches on this part of the Gold Coast.
