This is where things get lively, the entertainment centre of Surfers Paradise where Australia comes to play. Skyscrapers, the Esplanade, the beach — edge to edge. Orchid Avenue with the highest density of night clubs in Australia. Famous Cavil Avenue and Cavil Mall packed with family entertainment options. The Boulevard lined with shops and food. The River Parks, on one of the world's largest canal systems. Every option for enjoyment on land or water is within minutes.

Go inland a kilometre to chill back the pace on Chevron Island, and from there cross the pedestrian bridge to HOTA to catch a show or exhibition.
