The Gold Coast as a whole may be described as ‘glitzy’ but the best description of Broadbeach is ‘friendly sophistication’. Somehow Broadbeach tourism has managed to find the sweet spot, creating a destination that is loved by chic couples and families alike.
Whilst many of the Gold Coast tourist attractions are family-driven, such as the theme parks, couples just love the gourmet restaurants, trendy wine bars and world-class entertainment. As a result, Broadbeach has become a mecca for couples seeking romantic weekends away.
Broadie, as it’s known to locals, has it all: surf, sand, lush green parks, markets, events and the Gold Coast’s most famous eat-street. With its 24-hour casino, bars and lounges it’s certainly got razzle-dazzle but it’s a totally different vibe to Surfers Paradise.
Gold Coast tourist attractions in Broadbeach include:
Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre
Just 500 metres from the beach (and just across from the Phoenician Resort), this is the ultimate event venue. From exhibitions and trade shows to musical extravaganzas, it’s got the lot.
Pacific Fair Shopping Centre offers over 400 stores and has one of Australia’s largest collections of top brands. The Oasis is your everyday destination for shopping and dining.
