Main Beach

Apartments and Hotels along Main Beach

Main Beach is located north of Surfers Paradise and many attractions may be easily reached via bus or car. Home to Gold Coast’s Palazzo Versace, as well as Sea World Nara Resort, Sheraton hotel, Marina Mirage, Australia Fair Shopping Centre and many more attractions, here’s a list of the top 5 things you must do when in Main Beach.

1. Visit Sea World, if you haven’t already
What’s not to love about a theme park filled with one of Australia’s most spectacular dolphin shows and other water sport demonstrations, as well as opportunities to swim with the dolphins? Careful of weekends and public holidays, however, as the lines do get very long. Best times to go are off-peak seasons.

2. Mariner’s Cove (Fisherman’s Wharf)
Nestled near the seaside, many surfers get picked up on water taxis further out to catch the bigger waves via this area. Fishing enthusiasts may enjoy plenty of stock as this area is abundant for schools of passing fauna.

Some brushtrails are also available, and most recently there has been a film-crew from America over with lots of lights, cameras and gated action.

3. Marina Mirage
Shopping at Marina Mirage is due to explode as something high-end and great for the senses. Currently in its re-modelling stages, however, the shopping centre still houses many luxury brands such as Versace, Hermes, Lisa Ho and more.

4. Farmer’s Markets (every 1st, 3rd, and 5th – if applicable – Saturday of the month) at Marina Mirage
The Farmer’s Markets at Marina Mirage provide great bargains for fresh and interesting crops. Discover unique vegetation or super cheap avocadoes. Gourmet biscuits and homemade jams.

5. Tedder Avenue
The place to be for gourmet coffee shops and restaurants. Tedder Avenue is renowned in Gold Coast history as one of the trendiest spots to see and be seen. Many celebrities – when on Gold Coast for filming – stop by and have drinks here.
