Mermaid Beach… the quieter alternative!

Mermaid Beach Apartments

Mermaid Beach is a quieter alternative to Surfers Paradise of even Broadbeach (though technically ‘next door’). There are some developments in the area, however, and the buzz is that it is soon to see a boom in high-rises.

The reputable Pacific Fair Shopping Centre is right on Hooker Boulevard in the neighbouring Broadbeach area. Here you can experience the vibe of local Gold Coast teens as they hang out all over every corner of the shopping space. Not just for teens only of course, there are also plenty of families, couples, seniors and anyone and everyone. From shops such as City Beach to Sussan, to Williams shoes to Swarovski Crystals.

Next to Pacific Fair is also Putt-Putt Mini Golf Course. Look out for discount vouchers when you pick up tourists maps from Information Centres as they give you 2 games for the price of 1.

Mermaid Beach itself is known of high-priced real estate on the Gold Coast, especially north-facing and nearer to the beach.

There are hostels, motels, hotels and furnished apartments. For a quieter more ‘local’ feel, I do highly suggest this suburb. As it does not have the hoards of drunken German/American/Japanese/Chinese/British/Canadian/etc tourists out at night.

However, if you want the drunken mob experiences then definitely go hang out at Surfers Paradise at night.

As the beach is more quiet compared to Surfers Paradise, it is also much less polluted and provides a serene experience. Perfect for couples on their honeymoon or a family retreat.
