Gold Coast Holidays At Broadbeach
Broadbeach is, along with nearby Surfers Paradise, one of the most cosmopolitan of Australia’s Gold Coast holiday centres . Situated just a few kilometres south of Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach is now one of the top choices for holiday makers on the Gold Coast. The focus for all Gold Coast holidays is the beaches, and Broadbeach has one of the best. Kurrawa Beach adjoins the main beach front esplande and provides safe, patrolled swim areas for all ages. The beach front reserve has a well equipped children’s playground plus BBQ areas, picnic facilities and beachfront walkways .
Broadbeach offers some of the best Gold Coast accommodation options in the form of self contained holiday resorts and apartments. A considerable number of modern , luxury high rise resorts have been built in recent years and construction cranes continually dot the skyline at the sites of new resort construction . However, holiday makers will find Broadbeach accommodation to suit all budgets as many of the older resorts still offer excellent accommodation at lower prices than the new, up-market luxury properties.
Like all centres on the Gold Coast , the demand for Broadbeach holiday accommodation is seasonal with peak demand (ie.. most expensive) being the school holidays around Xmas and the New Year plus the Easter break . The mid season usually applies to dates either side of the high season plus mid year school holidays. Low season is all other dates and this is when special offers, usually in the form of free nights, are commonplace.
The Broadbeach Mall is the vibrant heart of Broadbeach. This wide, pedestrian-only thoroughfare is the #1 Gold Coast restaurant precinct with over 40 multi cultural bistros , cafes, al fresco eateries and fine dining restaurants catering to every taste and every budget. The nearby Pacific Fair is one of the largest shopping centres on the Gold Coast and it’s easy to spend a day exploring its cobbled streets, bustling arcades, boutique salons and department stores.
Conrad Jupiters Casino imposes itself on the Broadbeach skyline and offers an island oasis of 24-hour gaming halls, bars, restaurants and live stage shows (seasonal). The casino complex and the shopping and dining precincts are linked via a modern monorail. Broadbeach is the home of the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre which is located just a short stroll from the central Mall.
Broadbeach is located 25-30 minutes drive from Coolangatta Airport, 1hr 15 mins from Brisbane Airport and can also be reached by an Airtain + connection service via Helensvale railway station .
So if the Gold Coast is your preference for the next family vacation, you’d be well advised to take a careful look at Broadbeach for your holiday base. It’s very hard to beat!
