Our Suggestions for great things to do and see in Broadbeach
Broadbeach, Gold Coast
Broadbeach is known as one of the best places to stay and play for couples on the Gold Coast. Whether you're after a weekend, a short break, or a week-long holiday, there's plenty here to experience.
Broadbeach is a great spot for a relaxing, lazy holiday. Choose a different cafe each day for coffee and the papers, a different restaurant for lunch, and a different bar to enjoy sunset cocktails at. Take a picnic to the beach and lie on the sand for some great people-watching - Broadbeach is well known for its fit and healthy locals too. As locals ourselves, we love recommending the local Gold Coast family businesses we know, trust, and have worked with for years.
If you really want to chill and let your spirit soar while on holiday in Broadbeach, see the sunrise from a balloon. Enjoy an early morning door-to-door transfer and float up in a Gold Coast hot air balloon, followed by a delicious champagne breakfast and a stroll through the vineyard - you'll be back by the pool at your Broadbeach apartment before 11am.
Tours, attractions and activities on the Gold Coast bring plenty of happiness to visitors of all ages. Hire a car and zip over to Tamborine Mountain to see the vineyard district and do a wine trail, or hire a bike and cycle along wide open spaces to see the sandy beaches, whether you turn left or right from Broadbeach. The Gold Coast Hinterland has something for everyone too, all within an hour's drive of your Broadbeach accommodation.
Before arriving in Broadbeach, search for festivals and cultural events - The Star Gold Coast sits just across the highway, with a Las Vegas-style show that changes regularly, and next door is the Gold Coast Convention Centre, where shows and exhibitions change weekly. There's also a regular series of free events run by the Gold Coast City Council, like the Blues on Broadbeach and Jazz on Broadbeach music weekends, as well as a country music festival. Speaking of different musical tastes, definitely stroll the streets of Broadbeach and read the menus to find just the right spot to dine - whether it's a surfers' cafe, a European deli, or a restaurant with buzz, it's all here in Broadbeach for you to choose from, making your stay one to remember.
